UCI chemists devise inexpensive, accurate way to detect prostate cancer Method could facilitate commercially available, at-home urine tests

Early screening for prostate cancer could become as easy for men as personal pregnancy testing is for women, thanks to UC Irvine research published today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Ultimately, the scientists aim to capitalize on related nanowire research to design invisible fi laments that could carry cancer signals to a smartphone or other electrical device. Software would notify users whether they’re in the safe range or should contact a physician.

Master of Public Policy Pursuing policy solutions to society’s most pressing problems

oes an increase in the minimum wage reduce poverty? What policy for gun control will be supported by both gun rights and D regulation advocates? How does federal health reform affect health behaviors? How can we create sustainable and environmentally sound responses to global poverty? These are just a few of the questions that researchers and students are tackling in the Master of Public Policy program at the University of California, Irvine.

Shaping Leaders The United States continues to confront a changing global economy, find its economic footing, and grapple with an array of societal issues that call for informed and effective policy responses. Now, more than ever, we need skilled and talented professionals capable of participating in the full range of policy activities to find solutions to society’s most pressing problems. Master of Public Policy program inaugural Class of 2013

The Master of Public Policy program provides training for highly motivated and talented individuals to become leaders at the local, state, national and international level in the development and management of policies that lead to a more effective public sector, a more productive private sector and more vibrant communities.

UC Irvine Master of Public Policy Since welcoming its inaugural class in fall 2011, the two-year professional degree program continues to bring together the expertise of faculty across multiple disciplines, including economics, criminology, political science, sociology, urban planning, psychology and anthropology. Administered by both the School of Social Ecology and School of Social Sciences, the program’s interdisciplinary approach provides a means for creative exchange among research- oriented faculty, public policy decision-makers, strategically located practitioners and students.

As a member of the UC Irvine Master of Public Policy program, you will be part of a new and rapidly growing program that is uniquely situated to address a myriad of policy challenges. How we confront these challenges will shape our local, state, national and international communities.

Graduates of this program become leaders in policy in the public, private and nonprofit sectors and make meaningful contributions to society.
