After much thought, I have decided to go with the third project idea/area, "Use of nanodevices in DNA delivery, improving upon methods in somatic gene therapy and crop engineering," however, the focus may change depending upon the content further research turns up. Regardless, it is assured that it will be something to do with the field of nanomedicine. Below, find a list of sources that I am beginning to compile. | After much thought, I have decided to go with the third project idea/area, "Use of nanodevices in DNA delivery, improving upon methods in somatic gene therapy and crop engineering," however, the focus may change depending upon the content further research turns up.

Yesterday morning (1/23/08) I read an [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080118101931.htm article] detailing the potential for using highly charged water ions propelled via electrospray to facilitate the entry of genes into a variety of cell types. The key term here was ''cheap'' (given that I am working off of an undergraduate budget), so I will look into this further and see if anything can be made of it. Quite exciting, considering it may provide me with a topic to cover this Appropedia project, a new avenue for undergraduate research, and material for my senior project! | |||
Now that I have begun to consume the literature involving [[electrospray]] technology, I am cautiously optimistic that it could prove to be a very applicable and versatile technology to implement cheaply in a variety of settings. As such, I will be moving much of my future research in this area to the Electrospray project page, where I will continue to document what I find. | Now that I have begun to consume the literature involving [[electrospray]] technology, I am cautiously optimistic that it could prove to be a very applicable and versatile technology to implement cheaply in a variety of settings.
