Inventing the Future: George Emil Palade

Healthcare in the 21st century is mostly like a second degree equation; a mix of technology and skills which are all adding up to a manual of the human body and ho wto treat it. Nowadays, we go down to the level of cells and their “life” in determining the nature of a disease or the health status of a patient. We all heard about ribosomes and learnt about their importance in the domain of modern molecular cell biology.  We thank much of that knowledge to the work of George Emil Palade (1912-2008) in the biology domain.

Smart About Investments – Promoting Public Shareholding Following a System Change

Regardless of overall weak global investment sentiment, the 21 years old Warsaw bourse still seems to be an attractive market for individual Poles.

Many Boeing airplanes have at least one component made in Romania. The first GE Aviation engine designed and produced outside the US comes from the Czech Republic. And the Boeing 787, the current celebrity among airplanes, is powered by a GEnx engine partly created in Poland. In addition, components for GE, CFMI, and Rolls Royce Engines are repaired in Hungary. The CEE region plays a key role in the global business success of GE Aviation.
