Biochemical engineering Apoptosis The Cell Death Society http://www.celldeath-apoptosis.org/ Designed by the Society of Cell Death and Apoptosis this site give basic definitions and informations related to the topic. It also provides access to newsgroup, discussions, FAQs, and to Web sites of companies providing reagents. Hematopoietic stem sell culture Immunobiology Web Site http://mentor.lscf.ucsb.edu/mcdb 133/ Duane W. Sears, at University of California Santa Barbara, maintains this on-line edition of Janis Kubi's 1997 'Immunology' book. The site gives a fully detailed overview of the immune system and its diseases. In particular, chapter 3 dedicated to basic hematology provides the latest review on the hematopoietic stem cell. DNA recombination and gene therapy The Office of Recombinant DNA Activities http://www.nih.gov/od/orda/ The National Institutes of Health Office of Recombinant DNA Activities Web site offers access to the current guidelines, policies and protocols used in human gene therapy research. It also lists the future meetings and researchers working in the subject. National Gene Vector Laboratory http://www-ngvl.med.umich.edu/ The site of the National Gene Vector Laboratory, at the University of Michigan provides references about gene transfer methods. Access and query capability to the gene transfer vector database is also offered. The Institute for Human Gene Therapy http://www.med.upenn.edu/ihgt/ This Web site at the University of Pennsylvania offers general information about gene therapy, and provides access to on-line
classes, to future seminars and meetings, as well as the latest news on clinical trials.
Plant biotechnology National Genetic Resources Program http://www.ars-grin.gov/ The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) Web server provides germplasm information about plants, animals, microbes and invertebrates within the National Genetic Resources Program of the US Department of Agriculture's (http://www.usda.gov) Agricultural Research Service (http://www.ars.usda.gov/). Plant Biotechnology Institutes http://www.pbi.nrc.ca/ The Canadian National Research Council (NRC) Plant Biotechnology Institute site describes a list of successful technology transfer studies. It offers access to the NRC programs and current grant and job opportunities. Links to other biotechnology sites and upcoming meetings are also given. Center for Engineering Plants for Resistance Against Pathogens http://www-ceprap.ucdavis.edu/ The Center for Engineering Plants for Resistance Against Pathogens (CEPRAP) Web site at the University of California Davis provides information and access to various topics on plant engineering and to two handbooks about biotechnology and microbiology protocols. Do not miss the guided tour on a plant transformation (http://www-ceprap.ucdavis.edu/ transform 1.htm). Virus-resistant Transgenic Plants http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/Biology/Virology/27 /PLANT.HTM This Web site at the McMaster University, Canada, offers a complete review on pathogen and non-pathogen derived resistance as well as the potential danger of transgenic plants.
Organizations The American Society of Gene Therapy http://www.asgt.org/ The recently created American Society of Gene Therapy (ASGT) site regroups a list of the committee overlooking gene therapy project against various diseases such as AIDS, cystic fibrosis, cancer and genetic diseases. The site describes shortly the society goals and the first ASGT annual meeting. Biotechnology Industry Organisation http://www.bio.org/ The Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO) aims to serve and represent the emerging bioteehnology industry around the globe. BIO represents bioteehnology companies of all sizes, academic institutions and state biotechnology centers engaged in the development of products and services in the areas of biomedicine, diagnostics, agriculture food, energy, environmental, and industrial applications.
