Driving back diabetes

Article Abstract:

Increased public and private funding for diabetes has resulted in an increase in job opportunities for people interested in tackling diabetes and new job opportunities will also be available in the biomedical research, with special emphasize on diabetes. Job opportunities related to diabetes could be available in large drug companies, government laboratories, academic centres and non-profit research institutions and the job profile could include science writers, director of grants administration and laboratory managers.

Agency accused of 'illusion of integrity'

Article Abstract:

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has come up with new rules that would force senior scientists to limit stockholdings in biomedical companies to $15,000, and bar them from holding shares in companies directly related to their research. The new rules have came into force in the wake of a series of revelations about lucrative consultancy payments from companies collected by senior NIH scientists, often as they worked with or promoted the companies' drugs.

Tribal culture versus genetics

Article Abstract:

A legal battle has risen between the scientists and the Havasupai tribe in southwestern United States, over a diabetes research project where the tribe's lawsuits allege that researchers from Arizona State University and other institutions used DNA without proper consent. The dispute highlights the importance of researchers keeping in constant communication with their Native American communities, fanning tribal distrust of academics.
