<Title>Author Steve Luxenberg to Speak at UMBC</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Contact:
    Chelsea Haddaway
    410-455-6380
    <a href="mailto:chaddaway@umbc.edu">chaddaway@umbc.edu</a>
    
    Join Steve Luxenberg at UMBC on September 15 as he discusses his book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Annies-Ghosts-Journey-Family-Secret/dp/1401322476" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><em>Annie's Ghosts: A Journey into a Family Secret</em></a>.
    
    As an investigative reporter, Luxenberg was used to unearthing other people’s secrets. But when he followed the trail that led to the truth about his own family, he discovered the emotional consequences of stigma and secrecy.
    
    <em>Annie's Ghosts</em> tells the story of two sisters, born two years apart to immigrant parents, growing up in Depression-era Detroit. Beth, Luxenberg's mother, escaped eight years of low-paying jobs and her family's walk-up apartment by marrying and moving away from the neighborhood that she equates with broken promises and broken lives. Annie, who was committed to Eloise Psychiatric Hospital at age 21, was his mother's secret.
    
    Luxenberg used his skills as an investigative journalist to uncover his mother’s motivations for hiding her sister’s existence, and his talk, "Lost in the Unknown: Family Secrets and Their Consequences," will detail the research that led to the unveiling of the secret. <em>Annie’s Ghosts </em>reveals a writer’s difficulty in ferreting out the buried facts when memories have dimmed and records no longer exist.
    
    Luxenberg, an associate editor at the <em>Washington Post</em>, has worked for more than 30 years as a newspaper editor and reporter. His journalistic career began at the <em>Baltimore Sun</em>, where he worked for 11 years. He joined the <em>Washington Post </em>in 1985 as deputy editor of the newspaper's investigative/special projects staff, headed by assistant managing editor Bob Woodward. In 1991, he succeeded Woodward as head of the investigative staff. <em>Post </em>reporters working with Luxenberg have won several major reporting awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes for explanatory journalism.
    
    The lecture will take place at 7:30 pm on the 7th floor of the Albin O. Kuhn Library &amp; Gallery.  It is free to the public and sponsored by the Dresher Center for the Humanities and The Retriever Weekly.  This lecture is part of the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/dreshercenter/Fall2010.htm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Fall Humanities Forum</a>.

<Title>Fluorescence Technology Company Joins Incubators at...</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Full Title: Fluorescence Technology Company Joins Incubators at bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology ParkPlasmonix, Inc. Builds Range of Health, Safety and Energy-Efficiency Products Based on UMBC Professor’s Research
          Contact:
    Anthony Lane
    Communications Manager:
     Science, Technology and Environment
    (410) 455-5793
    <a href="mailto:alane@umbc.edu">alane@umbc.edu</a>
    
    Current tests to identify salmonella — the dangerous pathogen behind the recent recall of more than 500 million eggs — typically take 48 hours as researchers wait for bacteria to grow inside Petri dishes. 
    
    A process developed at UMBC’s Institute of Fluorescence (IoF) and licensed to the biotech startup Plasmonix, Inc. could cut that time to seconds, enabling a test that would reveal the presence of salmonella with a telltale luminescent glow.
    
    Other IoF innovations that have been licensed to Plasmonix could have impacts in areas ranging from public safety to energy efficiency. IoF director Chris Geddes, a UMBC chemistry professor and chief scientific officer for Plasmonix, has spearheaded the development of tests that can be used to quickly detect biohazards such as anthrax, STDs such as chlamydia, and cardiac markers that indicate a patient has had a heart attack.
    
    The IoF is also developing materials that glow for extended periods, possibly allowing them to be used as light sources inside buildings, cutting energy use by reemitting energy stored during the day.
    
    Plasmonix, which is already making products for life science research and manufacturing that use Geddes’ patented Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF) technology, will now try to expand its range of offerings as an incubator company at the bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology Park.
    
    As a participant in both the Life Science and Technology Incubator and the Maryland Clean Energy Technology Incubator (CETI), Plasmonix plans to introduce many new products, including tests for biohazard and pathogen detection, devices for medical diagnostics and new platforms for digital fluorescence readout. The company is also exploring commercial possibilities tied to energy efficient plastic materials that could provide light without the environmental costs associated with external electric power.
    
    Plasmonix is seeking partners for applications in other consumer and industrial areas. MEF technology could broaden the range of pigments usable in cosmetics by increasing their radiance, allowing for the safe use of compounds that are dangerous in high concentrations. Materials using MEF technology could be used in apparel, while fluorescent paints could have a range of uses, possibly becoming a safety feature on children’s bicycles. 
    
    "While our current products indirectly benefit patients by facilitating life science research and manufacturing, our next wave of applications in detection and diagnostics will directly make people safer and healthier,” said William Gust, president and CEO of Plasmonix. “We are excited to have access to the resources of the bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology Park to help us grow Plasmonix.”
    
    Geddes, who has a doctorate in physical chemistry, has been awarded dozens of patents for his pioneering work in fluorescence. Plasmonix has licensed 22 separate discoveries  — representing about 60 international patents — in the area of MEF, a technology that dramatically increases the detectability of the fluorescing material. 
    
    MEF technology increases the speed and sensitivity for a variety of tests. It can be used, for instance to detect cardiac markers released during a heart attack in 20 seconds, opening up the possibility that such tests could be performed during an ambulance ride. It can also be used to rapidly detect STDs, biohazards and pathogens, and it can be applied to point-of-care medical diagnostics.
    
    “MEF is a paradigm shift in the way we think about and use fluorescence spectroscopy today,” Geddes said. “Given the dominance of fluorescence as a tool in the life sciences, I am excited that Plasmonix is well positioned to unleash the next generation of fluorescence-based products.”
    
    Plasmonix licensed the technology in 2009 while the IoF was based at the former University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI). The IoF joined UMBC earlier this year in a reorganization that saw former UMBI centers realigned with other institutions in the University System of Maryland. 
    
    Fifteen growing companies in bwtech@UMBC’s Life Science and Technology Incubator are now using the incubator’s resources and support structure to nurture and develop promising business ideas.  As a participant in CETI, Plasmonix also joins an expanding cluster of businesses taking strides in green technology.
    
    "Plasmonix has already shown an ability to take the exciting potential of metal-enhanced fluorescence and incorporate it into innovative products,” said Ellen Hemmerly, executive director of the bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology Park. “We are thrilled to work with them as they develop their business and find broader markets for their products."</div>
