Associate Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering Michael Mason and his collabora- tor, Dr. Peter Allen at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, have been awarded more than $78,000 from the Maine Cancer Foundation for their project to improve can cer detection using engineered bioconjugates. The researchers are developing a new class of cancer-identifying agents to detect cancerous tu- mors in the pancreas and liver. The agents are based on chemically modified noble metal nanopar- ticles labeled with bioactive molecules. Bioactive molecules are antibodies against cancer markers found on the surface of cancer cells. These nontoxic particles can seek out and attach to cancer cells that are difficult to distinguish from healthy tissue by imaging studies, such as MRI or CT scans. Though only a few billionths of a meter across, they generate very strong X-ray contrast, effectively making the cancer cells visible to doctors. The project has the potential to vastly improve early detection of many types of cancer. In addition to improved images, these particles could replace current iodine-based contrasting agents to which many patients respond negatively, says Mason.

  • Unpopular Lepage in Danger for 2014 Re-Election
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 22, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Unpopular LePage in danger for 2014 re-election Raleigh, N.C. – Republican Paul LePage is in danger of losing his bid for re-election unless the 2014 Maine governor’s contest turns out to be the same sort of three-way race that paved the way for LePage’s victory in 2010. PPP’s latest poll finds LePage ahead by 4 to 7 points in every potential three-way contest while losing every head-to-head contest by 8 to 21 points. If LePage and independent Eliot Cutler were the only two candidates, Cutler would lead LePage 49% to 41%. But in every three-way scenario, Cutler’s strength as an independent candidate gives LePage the lead over their possible Democratic opponents. LePage’s job approval rating is significantly underwater at -16, with 39% approving and 55% disapproving. 18% of Republicans and 54% of independents disapprove of the job that LePage is doing as governor. “Paul LePage’s chances at reelection appear contingent on there being both a strong Democratic candidate and a strong independent candidate on the ballot next year,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “He would have very little chance in a race against just one serious opponent.” John Baldacci is the favorite of Democratic primary voters with 28% support, followed by Chellie Pingree (21%), Mike Michaud (19%), Emily Cain (6%), Janet Mills (4%), Ethan Strimling (3%) and Jeremy Fischer (2%).
