scientists, industry leaders, technology
experts, futurists and others. Discussions
led by such luminaries as
Ray Kurzweil explored the limitless
possibilities of human imagination
as applied to everything from computing
with DNA to submicron resolution
3D printers and nano-robots
in the human body.
The forum was an appropriate
showcase for new technologies such
as Liquid Crystal Window Technology,
an innovation from Performance
Materials that looks almost like magic.
As a user turns a dial, a window
transforms from clear to grey. Changing
the capacitance of glass panes rotates
liquid crystals attached to dyes
inside. The technology promises a
whole new era for building applications,
one in which consumers can
darken or lighten rooms in a dynamic
way. The same windows could be
used as transparent screens, turning
the glass from a window to a shade to
a screen, and back.
Now THAT’S a clear and bright
future indeed.
Like the other two business sectors,
EMD Serono is transforming
lives by offering therapies that patients
need for conditions like multiple
sclerosis, infertility and cancer,
and providing industry-leading educational
and support programs.
Some of the most promising clinical
research in cancer involves immunotherapy
– leveraging the body’s
own immune system to fight tumors.
On the cutting edge of this trend,
EMD Serono has a robust pipeline
focused on oncology, immuno-oncology
and neurology/immunology.
Many biologists believe that understanding
the mechanisms of our
body’s own internal “healing systems”
will be the key to drug discovery in
the future.
No doubt, the curiosity and drive to
discover at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,
Germany will usher in a new era.
