TIA/SAS Seminar Series 16/11/12, Laurie Bonney
Dr Laurie Bonney, Senior Research Fellow, Convenor, TIA Value Chain Program "Yu tokim mi long planim kaikai na maket we: a study of the PNG fresh produce system" Presents the results from a recent NZAid funded project which took a systems view of the PNG fresh produce system in order to make recommendations regarding the feasibility of a new wholesale market in the capital, Port Moresby, which is a key to developing the nation #39;s food security. The presentation: bull; Reviews the current literature on the waves of development of the #39;modern food retailing system #39; bull; Describes the application of value chain management principles in the analysis of a national fresh food system; bull; Provides insights into PNG #39;s development pathway; bull; Demonstrates how agricultural systems research is useful for developing sustainable research for development (R4D) solutions. Bio for Dr Laurie Bonney GradDipAgric, MEdMan(Hons), MSc(Strategic Foresight), PhD Postgraduate training in strategic foresight, change management and value chain innovation underpins Laurie #39;s work in researching agrifood value chain management and developing sustainable competitive advantage in businesses and adaptive rural communities. He has conducted research in Australia, Canada, PNG and Vietnam. In 14 years as a consultant, he has had clients across Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia in agriculture, agribusiness, biotechnology, private forestry, property development, funds management, health, indigenous affairs, justice ...From:TasInstituteofAgViews:0 0ratingsTime:40:19More inScience Technology

2012 Innovation - Discovery Awards
Christopher McMaster, Ph.D., is the Carnegie and Rockefeller Professor and Chair of Pharmacology at Dalhousie University, co-director of the Cheminformatics Drug Discovery Lab at the IWK Health Centre and co-founder of the Halifax-based biotechnology company DeNovaMed. He is a shining example of a science innovator. In his research and entrepreneurial guises, Dr. McMaster is at the forefront of research that seeks to harness gene sequence and protein modeling technologies to design drugs that are very specific in their action and which are directed at widespread problems. These include antibiotic resistant "superbugs" such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (aka MRSA), as well as #39;orphan diseases #39; -- diseases that are very rare and typically incurable. His innovative approaches have been well funded, including nearly $5 million from Genome Canada. Dr. McMaster has twice been ranked first in national salary award competitions and first in Nova Scotia as a Clinical Research Scholar. Also featured in this video: Srinivas ("Srini") Sampalli, Ph.D., professor in the Faculty of Computer Science, Dalhousie University and Gary Humphries (BComm #39;71), Trans Industrial Packaging, pioneered the development and commercialization of a unique thermal sustainable packaging format dubbed Thermafresh trade;.From:discoverycentre1593Views:0 0ratingsTime:06:07More inScience Technology

Training researchers of the future – Video

Training researchers of the future
Students in Advanced Micro- and Nano-biotechnology, a fourth-year course in Biomedical Engineering, are working on a real problem posed by professors Maite Mujika and Sergio Arana. The students spent the term detecting infections caused by bacterial strains, working through the lens of micro- and nano-technology. To do this, the students-turned-researchers had to find the scientific articles most closely related to the problem under study and then design their own microsensor, which they built in a clean room and tested in the labs at Tecnun-CEIT. The students worked with samples of the bacterial strain Staphylococcus spidermidis, which they grew on the microsensors they had built using silicon technology. At the end of the course, the different groups participated in a workshop where they had to present the results of their work and what they learned, either as a poster or an oral presentation. Some of the projects will be also be presented at CASEIB, the annual meeting of the Spanish Society for Biomedical Engineering, which will take place in San Sebastian on 19-21 November.From:CeitTVViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:59More inScience Technology
