In order to aid with disease diagnosis in remote places, researchers at Boston University have built a prototype pump device to separate DNA out of a sample of blood.

Have you seen the Open Medicine wiki?
This project explores the use of a wiki as an online collaborative tool for improving and updating peer-reviewed systematic reviews. Readers are invited to edit the article either by adding, deleting or modifying its contents. The effort has been supported by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technology in Health (CADTH) and Open Medicine. The scoping reviews found on the Open Medicine website and the wiki are derivations of an original systematic review funded by CADTH and completed by Foresights Links.
