|As you may have already gathered, my name is Sean McFarland, and I am currently a junior pursuing a B.S. in molecular biology (with minors in nanotechnology, chemistry, honors, and possibly creative writing) at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Over the course of this (Spring '08) semester, I will be seeking to detail a device or idea involving nanotechnology that will help further the goals of Appropedia in improving the human condition.

    This page was just established at the tail-end of class, so I have yet to fill in much of the information, and it will continue to evolve as more time becomes available to work on it.
===Areas of Interest===
* Somatic gene therapy
* Transgenic food crops
* Computer / web programming


Biological Info (~Current):
===Current Project Ideas===
* Solar-powered UV lamp for water sterilization.
* Use of silicon nanowires in batteries to improve energy density.
* Use of nanodevices in DNA delivery, improving upon methods in somatic gene therapy and crop engineering.


Age:
===Project Decision===
Gender:
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.

Educational Info:
The other 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!


Institution:
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.

Hello Everyone!

A picture of me, Sean McFarland!
A picture of me, Sean McFarland!
As you may have already gathered, my name is Sean McFarland, and I am currently a junior pursuing a B.S. in molecular biology (with minors in nanotechnology, chemistry, honors, and possibly creative writing) at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Over the course of this (Spring '08) semester, I will be seeking to detail a device or idea involving nanotechnology that will help further the goals of Appropedia in improving the human condition. As my major and future career inclinations would dictate, I am primarily interested in a project that would include material of a biological persuasion. After I do some reading and reviews of the literature currently out there, I'll be sure to continue to update this page as I flesh out exactly what I'd like to do.

Areas of Interest

  • Somatic gene therapy
  • Transgenic food crops
  • Computer / web programming

Current Project Ideas

  • Solar-powered UV lamp for water sterilization.
  • Use of silicon nanowires in batteries to improve energy density.
  • Use of nanodevices in DNA delivery, improving upon methods in somatic gene therapy and crop engineering.

Project Decision

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.

The other morning (1/23/08) I read an 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.
