Fantastic new development for Cystic Fibrosis!
Fantastic new development for Cystic Fibrosis!
EU Approval for TOBI Podhaler comes as great news for cystic fibrosis patients across the country. TOBI Podhaler, an inhaled therapy for patients with cystic fibrosis, is to be used with patients 6years+ for suppression of chronic lung infections.
“With the approval of the TOBI Podhaler in Europe, and innovative version of an established treatment has become available that will improve the delivery of tobramycin and should have a positive impact on patients’ quality of life”, said Professor Stuart Elborn, President of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society and Professor of Respiratory Medicine at Queens University.
As a result of this approval, it means that the treatment can now be administered with a user-friendly and compact device in comparison to the previously administered nebuliser. This also reduces the treatment time from 20 minutes down to an amazing 5-6 minutes, delivering a higher level of patient satisfaction.
Dr. Greg Hays of Novartis said “It is an important symbol of our long term commitment to improving the quality of care for patients with this serious and potentially life-threatening disease.”

NanoDevice Micromesh
Nanodevice Medical Devices Make Big News in Ireland. As previously mentioned on this blog, Medical devices continue to be a major center of growth and activity both in R&D and job creation for the Irish economy. But allied to this power house another developing science is begining to make itself felt. Nanoscience is rapidly converging and combining with the BioPharma and Medical device sectors which were once seen as distinct and completely sepperate branches of science and are now adding incredible synergies. Medical devices and biopharma products are now being enhanced and expanded far beyond their existing or previously envisioned applications into new and advanced medical or clinical applications. They have also opened up completly new research vistas undreamt of less than five years ago.
Nanoscience adds a different dimension or perhaps microdimension to products such as medical devices that allows them to operate at the subatomic level. For instance, as we see with most medical devices at present they operate as simple tools treating the symptoms of ailments whereas we are already witnessing the application of nanoscience to medical devices that will very soon actually allow them to actively cure an illness.
Specifically we can envisage the usage of nano robots that can heal tears in arteries unreachable by contemporary surgery techniques. Additionally early research is already being undertaken with the development of gold plated nano drugs capable of functioning as effectively as a smart bio weapon, guided precisely and unerringly to the point of infection such as cancerous tumours doing away with debilitating chemo or radiation therapy.
Added together, medical devices, ICT and Biopharma employ over 130,000 people emphasising their importance to the nation as a significant economic driver. Given the global market for nanoscience products is over €3 Trillion Dollars, or to localise this figure, last year Ireland exported over €150 Billion in goods and services, of this 10% were nanoscience enabled or related products or €15 Billion. By 2015 this figure could be as much as €30 Billion.
Small wonder then that as this sector continues to grow in importance, it will continue to be a beacon of hope in a time of unprecedented economic gloom.

Research and Development in Biotechnology
R&D continues to witness increasing growth despite the downturn taking place in Ireland as new announcements have continued to be made by multinational companies involved in areas such as Medical Devices, Biopharma and Pharmaceutical manufacturing.
R&D or Research and Development has resulted in greater career prospects at home for Irelands science and technical professionals who continue to gain international respect for their work in fields as diverse as polymer technology, advanced medical products, telecommunications software and hardware.
As a result there has been a major increase in demand for R&D managers, R&D Engineers and Research associates carrying out front line research which has had the spin off effect of an increase in demand for Quality Assurance Managers and Engineers in addition to Regulatory Affairs professionals who form part of the collective support structure required for this ever increasing technical environment.
Recruitment is brisk and demand for science professionals for all these sectors is steadily increasing at a pace that seems to defy the current economic trend. Long may it continue

A Mechanical Commissioning Engineer ensures his harness in safely in place.
Good morning and welcome to My science jobs with news that we have a green light for green jobs.
Recently at the IRCSET (Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology) symposium, the Irish government with the backing of Major Multinationals such as Intel and Microsoft and supported by sustainable Energy Ireland, have made a commitment to drive greater resources into the Smart economy.
In paticular this will be in the areas of Green IT and Green Tech jobs.
This commitment will include:-
Ensuring the supply of highly skilled talent and the supply of high achieving graduates up to Phd level.
Investing heavily in research and development and enhancing the environment between Academic and market facing commercial interests.
Implementation of a “Green Deal” and moving towards Green Renewable Energies and away from Fossil fuel energy programs.
Promoting Green Collar jobs and Green Enterprise.
Within the Green Collar Jobs sector there are a number of employment possibilities covering such aspects as energy production as well as conservation not simply related to areas such as wind turbine manufacture. Opportunities here exist for a wide variety of professional engineers such as:- Precision Tooling Engineers, Toolmakers, Mechanical, Electrical, Automation and Manufacturing Engineers.
R&D carried out in Ireland has also led to the development and manufacture of micro turbines that can produce electrical energy in even the smallest of wind environments and as a result have made them cheaper to manufacture and increasingly attractive to a wider range of customers both domestic as well as commercial. The implications for the marketing and sale of these devices and the possibility for increases in employment growth is therefore significant.
Here we can see opportunities for Moulding Engineers, Project Managers and Project Engineers in addition to Systems and Telecommunications Engineers
Additionally, in areas such as inteligent lighting systems that detect the level of ambient light and switch of lights when they are not needed. These specific inteligent public lighting systems are already in operation in Germany and are being looked at with keen interest by Intel who have been quick to see their application globally, these too are manufactured here in Ireland.
Again we have seen there has bene an increase in the demand for manufacturing, QA/QC, Mechanical and Tooling Engineers as well as Project Managers, Mechanical and Electrical Technicians, Equipment Engineers, Schedulers and Planners as demand is expected to increase.
Green Tech and Green Research & Development then offers considerable long term employment prospects for native Irish engineering talent. For further information on Green jobs in the green technology and Green R&D jobs, stay tuned or visit Jackie Brown Medical for further recruitment opportunities in a host of new technology sectors such as Medical Device jobs, Manufacturing jobs, Engineering jobs and science jobs.

Good Manufacturing Practice-Consistent Quality
Quality versus Quantity used to be a dilemma faced by manufacturers faced by the dual consideration of competition and the diminishing return on investment after cost ie profits.
More precisely, manufacturers of goods would consider how do you increase profits when you are facing increased competition and increasing numbers of competitors eating into your market share? Do you increase production and hope to swamp your competitors with lower cost items that you can charge less for and therefore increase your market share - or do you produce better high quality items which you can charge more for and thus get more for less and also retain and grow a loyal customer base who will trust your product over the oppositions cheaper and possibly less reliable product.
Myscience jobs considers the question as now largely rhetorical. Quality wins out every time.
Today Quality Control and Quality Assurance is a major consideration for all Irish high tech manufacturing from medical devices through to semiconductors and pharmaceutical products. Irish manufacturing is performed to World Class Manufacturing environment standards including BS, ISO, FDA, and GMP.
None of the billions of investment that have been spent would have been done so if these standards could not be guaranteed to be maintained and improved as they have been by Quality Managers, Engineers and technicians who police and maintain them, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in manufacturing plants, R&D facilities, Design consultancies and practices through out Ireland.
Needless to say, there remains today, a significant number of scientfic, engineering and manufacturing jobs open to Quality professionals encompassing all the above sectors despite the economic downturn, which will endure and expand in the years ahead as clients and customers continue to demand quality over quantity.
For quality jobs in medical device manufacture, R&D, Plastics, engineering and science, consider Jackie Brown Medical where quality counts in recruitment for Quality Jobs.

Sonographer carrying out an Ultrasound
Welcome to Mysciencejobs where today we are looking at imaging technology as applied to the fields of medical science . In particular we will look at Radiology and ultrasonics, both similar but distinct branches of diagnostic medicine undertaken specifically by Radiologists and Sonographers.
Radiologists direct an array of imaging technologies such as (CT) computed tomography, (PET) Positron Emission Tomograph, Nuclear Medicine and (MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Radiology is amongst the most competitive branches of medicine with further advances in computer technology leading to rapid expansion in the field.
Sonographers are another specialist branch of diagnostic medical professionals who utilse ultrasound to diagnose various medical conditions though the use of ultrasonics by producing imaging via scans, 3D, and Video. Sonographers require an indepth understanding of ultrasound physics, cross sectional anatomy, physiology, pathology and communication skills.
Career opportunities for medical professionals in these fields have grown considerably in Ireland despite current economic conditions and as a result Irish recruitment agencies such as Jackie Brown Medical have found themselves in great demand from clients seeking both radiologists and sonographers.

Saving and Serving Millions -Microsofts new Data Center sited in Dublin
A good day to you from My science jobs on this cool but dry day where it pays to be cool!
Who’d have ever thought that the Irish weather would be a reason why science jobs would come to Ireland?
Serious! It appears that the Irish weather is one of the primary reasons why Microsoft have chosen to site a state of the art Data center in Dublin over several other competing potential sites globally. This site costing over €500 million has already directly resulted in Microsoft and supplier firms recruiting for hundreds of new science jobs and technical related disciplines in the fields of IT and Telecommunications. It will no doubt result in hundreds if not thousands of additional science jobs being created as it supports Irelands existing science and technical infrastructure.
So why choose Ireland then?
Answer;-because it appears the weather is neither too hot or too cold, the new Data Center will not need the normally required and expensive to run cooling towers and heating /ventilation systems. These use prodigeous amounts of electricity and are essential to support the servers operating parameters.
Consider if you will then, that these servers run 365 days a year 24 hours a day -that is a lot of electricity even a small reduction in use then can have massive direct savings. In the case of the new facility this can run into savings in the order of millions. So before it starts, it has already the new site has already saved money. To be cool; stay tuned to mysciencejobs.com for further news and the best science jobs.
