Sharp increase in greenhouse gas emission caused global warming and the subsequent environmental challenges: the fight for clean water, the search and research of renewable energy and green buildings as well as the quest for sustainable development.

To prevent the situation from worsening, governments are ratifying new regulations, installing more efficient resource management and stricter enforcement regimes. These actions constitute increased public spending and private investments. For all related suppliers, this means business opportunities.

Joining forces to tap and broaden these opportunities, the Economic Daily News and Expo Union Corporation?? aim to make Taipei Int' l EnPEC & Water Show 2008 the best trade show for both suppliers and buyers. Here, exhibitors showcase latest technologies, products and services to targeted and potential buyers, network with peers, as well as exchange information and resources. ?For public sector exhibits, this is the perfect venue to reinforce policy awareness, to collect vital feedback from field professionals, and to educate the general public on our shared preservation responsibilities.

Ligand-directed Targeting and Molecular Imaging in Cancer and Obesity

Jul 24, 2008 - Jul 24, 2008,
St Mary's Campus,Imperial College London London, England United Kingdom

Differential protein expression in vascular endothelium associated with normal or diseased tissues offers the potential for developing novel diagnostic, imaging, and therapeutic strategies. In essence, our research program uses combinatorial library selection (peptide- and antibody-based) to discover, validate, and exploit the vascular biochemical diversity of endothelial cell surfaces towards a new vascular-targeted pharmacology. Such targeting technologies may lead to the development of ligand-directed therapeutics and imaging agents for application in the treatment of cancer, obesity, and other medical conditions that show distinct vascular attributes. Translational applications through clinical trials, which are scheduled to start soon at our own institution and elsewhere, will ultimately determine the value of this strategy. In this lecture, we will provide project-by-project overviews of our main lines of ongoing and planned research.
