These two Indian-Americans will be tomorrow's leaders

Sejal Hathi, a Yale University student and social entrepreneur, has launched a Web site to collect stories of 100,000 women activists across the world. ‘I am inspired by women like Jasmeen Patheja, who as a college student in Kolkata, India transformed personal threats of eve-teasing into a nationwide call to action — founding the burgeoning network of activists and artists, The Blank Noise Project,’ Hathi recently wrote in The Huffington Post. ‘I am moved by young women like Inna Hudaya from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, who after suffering her own botched abortion, birthed grassroots non-profit Samsara to provide pre- and post-abortion counselling, reproductive rights trainings, and sex education classes to women and girls facing unwanted pregnancies.’ One of the 54 recently-selected Truman Scholarships awardees, Hathi, who grew up in Fremont, California, founded Girls Helping Girls, a non-profit that works with other non-governmental organisations in 22 countries to empower girls socially and economically.

When cells hit the wall: Engineers put the squeeze on cells to diagnose disease

ScienceDaily (May 1, 2012) If you throw a rubber balloon filled with water against a wall, it will spread out and deform on impact, while the same balloon filled with honey, which is more viscous, will deform much less. If the balloon’s elastic rubber was stiffer, an even smaller change in shape would be observed. Continue reading →

Scientists discover tumor-targeting neural stem cells

Could engineered human stem cells hold the key to cancer survival? Scientists at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), the world’s first bioengineering and nanotechnology research institute, have discovered that neural stem cells possess the innate ability to target tumor cells outside the central nervous system. This finding, which was demonstrated successfully on breast cancer cells, was recently published in leading peer reviewed journal, Stem Cells Continue reading →
