MD Joins Sprint to Lead in

Biotechnology

"Gov. Martin O'Malley Monday unveiled a

proposal to invest $1.1 billion over

the next decade to cement Maryland's status

as a pre-eminent hub for biotechnology

research, including stem-cell studies aimed at

finding breakthrough medical advances. ...

Industry observers said Monday that

Maryland is uniquely positioned to capitalize

on biotechnology, with its prestigious

university research facilities and the National

Institutes of Health and Army laboratories at

Fort Detrick located in the state."

UM Team Wins Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Event"The University of Maryland says a team of engineering students (Clark School,Computer, Mathematical & Physical Sciences)  at its College Park campus has won an underwater robot competition in San Diego.  The underwater vehicle built by the team competed against 25 others from across the United States, India, Canada and Japan. The Maryland team won the competition in only its second year of participation.  In the final competition last weekend,

robots had to find their way through a starting gate, follow a pipeline, dock with a buoy, and track and hover over an acoustic pinger before grabbing and surfacing with an

object that was taken to a floating ring."1    University of Maryland2    University of Texas at Dallas3    École de technologie supérieure4    Associated Press (Baltimore Sun), August 5
