Dr. Anthony Shaw wants to shine infrared light through your blood. And it could save your life. He's the lead scientist on a ground-breaking NRC project to use infrared spectroscopy for the rapid analysis of the tell-tale blood chemicals pointing to cardiovascular disease.![](/web/20061025201919im_/http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/images/home/separator_horizontal.gif) ![Prototype of porous Titanium attachment systems for dental implant](/web/20061025201919im_/http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/images/photos/200507titanium_implantssm.jpg)
More than two out of three Canadians currently have a missing tooth. It's a gap that you'd think would be perfectly filled by high-tech solid titanium dental implants. However, only about one in a hundred gets a titanium implant.![](/web/20061025201919im_/http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/images/home/separator_horizontal.gif) ![Gloved hand representing the role of a pentabody](/web/20061025201919im_/http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/images/photos/200507pentabodysm.jpg)
This NRC technique for the rapid production of custom antibodies is on the commercialization path. The technology's commercial potential recently impressed a panel of distinguished business and science leaders.
