Environment Affect DNA and The Incidence of Cancer

IIPM PUBLICATION  

Manel Esteller, director of the Spanish National Cancer Center (CNIO in Spanish), is one of the first Spanish scientists to land on the pages of the Wall Street Journal. His research on monozygotic twins (who share the same DNA) and cancer, and how aging and environment affect DNA and the incidence of cancer, has broad implications for treatment and management of the disease. 

The strength of Spanish research has drawn international companies to set up research facilities in the country. Pharmaceutical firms including Merck, Lilly, Abbott, and Baxter have developed labs in Spain. The French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis is currently investing nearly eight million euros (about $10.5 million) in a new basicresearch center outside Madrid. 

The CNB’s focus on technology transfer had been historically rare in Spain. In the past, there had not been much interest in patenting discoveries, or in transferring knowledge to companies that could develop and market the resulting technologies and profit from the research.

Maybe the legendary actor should consider citizenship in the plastination?

IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE 

Born to a Nazi official, Hagens, a haemophiliac, in his childhood cut himself and spent the next six months in a hospital. The incident conceivably stimulated his interest in medicine and anatomy and his sojourn continued leading him to invent the process of plastination. Consequent Body Worlds exhibitions have attracted millions for viewing plastinated remains of the men that once were. Ever since the first show in Tokyo in 1995, his works have aroused awe in some, revulsion in others and indignation in some more. 

Hagens’ endeavour has been irked by plenty of controversies, like when he was accused of illegally possessing dead bodies, or when he shipped 56 dead bodies to Heidelberg, or when he made an open offer to one of the tallest men in the world – Alexander Sizonenko – to plastinize his body when he dies (which wasturned down). Nevertheless, as advocated by the creator, his art may also be perceived as an effort to ‘democratise anatomy’ and help the world understand and respect their bodies better. 

Three-time Academy Award-winning American director Woody Allen had once said, “I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.” Maybe the legendary actor should consider citizenship in the plastination?!

41%! Does the figure mean anything to you?

IIPM PUBLICATION  Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Physics from Delhi University, he went on to obtain an Engineering degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from Indian Institute of Science-Bangalore, and topped that with a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of California; and even completed the most prestigious Senior Executive Development Programme at Sloan School of Management. Being on the corporate advisory board of Marshall School of Business and other reputed institutes, is perhaps his way of keeping in touch with academics. 

Ramadorai received the ‘Asia Business Leader of the Year’ award in 2002 from CNBC Asia-Pacific. Apart from various industry awards, he has also been awarded by the UK and US governments for bolstering trade relations between  those countries and India.

Non-MBA CEOs

IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE 

It perhaps took the might of MIT’s Sloan School of Management to put the ultimate seal over legions of unlettered MBA opposers. In the pathbreaking research titled Managing With Style, MIT Professors Marianne Bertrand and Antoinette Schoar – after undertaking a most massive research over 7,500 of the world’s leading corporations – proved most conclusively how companies with MBA CEOs perform better than those having non-MBA CEOs. The report statistically shows how “the most interesting finding is the positive relationship between MBA graduation and corporate performance.” In fact, CEOs holding MBA degrees are associated even with higher operating return on assets, one of the topmost factors to determine corporate efficiency.

She came, she saw, she conquered!

IIPM PUBLICATION  

Some accuse her of being an outsider (to Delhi) – she hails from Uttar Pradesh. Actually, Sheila can’t be called a rank outsider. She was born in Uttar Pradesh on March 31, 1938, but she completed her schooling at the Convent of Jesus & Mary, New Delhi and then moved to the prestigious

Miranda
House
College for higher studies. It was here that her tryst with politics began. She became a committed member of a pressure group that raised demands for the facilities provided to students and working women. During her graduation in

Delhi
University, she was courted by Late Vinod Dikshit, an IAS officer belonging to an illustrious political family of UP. Her courtship lasted 4 turbulent years after which they got married. It was after the death of Vinod Dikshit in early 80s that she was cajoled into politics by Rajiv Gandhi.

Pantaloon Retail India Limited (PRIL)

IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE

However, Biyani cannot be called just a man full of flaws with a vision ailing from strategic myopia. Consider this – even as early as a decade back (in 1997), this man could identify the trend that the whole of India Inc. would consider an association with (think of the recent retail forays of Indian corporate power houses). Way back in 1997, he rolled out his first modern haute couture retailing store in Kolkata. Christened as Pantaloon, it marked Biyani’s foray into the retail sector, and a successful one too! And why not? Pantaloon was unleashed at a point in time when branded foreign prêt-a-porter was a ‘delightful surprise’ for the Indians! Elaborating on having achieved the first mover advantage, Bina Mirchandani, Head – Category Management, – Pantaloon Retail India Limited (PRIL) explained to B&E, “We introduced branded fashion and it was a departmental store which addressed all housing related needs. Then, consumers could have hardly thought of such stores that offered all quality products under one roof…”

Carved Limestone gate: 5,893,436 INR

IIPM PUBLICATION  

Stop at the gate! No, not being rude, but this is what any owner of this limestone entrance gate will soon be saying. Listed for $135,000 this downright extravagant indulgence is no ordinary gate. One from the estate of George Arents, it is in fact being retailed much like modular furniture, with them promising to “disassemble, ship, and reassemble” for you! This threshold includes a raised wooden panel door, and looks certainly royal. What? Could you fit one in your apartment home? Guess not!
