Innovation practitioner certification program launched

New Delhi, June 19 (ANI/Business Wire India): QAI Global Services (www.qaiglobal.com), with a vision to create an innovative workforce in India, has recently launched a new Innovation Practitioner Certification program for individuals across all domains. The program consists of online training and one-on-one mentoring from accredited trainers. The certification awarded at the end of the course is MATRIZ Level 1.

MATRIZ or the International Association of TRIZ is the international authority recognized by organizations such GE, Intel, Siemens, Motorola, LG, Samsung, Unilever, P and G and many other leading organizations. These organizations have trained thousands of their staff on MATRIZ body of knowledge to make the process of innovation structured and predictable.

The mentors have been trained by multiple TRIZ Masters such as Dr. Yury Salamatov, Nikolai Khomenko, Dr. Alla Zusman, Boris Zlotin and are authorized by MATRIZ to set up TRIZ Association of Asia to train students of different age groups.

Innovation Practitioner Certification program has nine modules with a minimum of eighty nine tasks to be completed in four months. Each module concludes with assignments that focus on development of specific skills. The training provided in the modules can also be embedded within other frameworks such as Six sigma, Lean and PDCA. The mentoring and the structure of the program is focused towards developing introspective analytical thinking skills in individuals. The program is a rich blend of strong theory backed by rigorous practical application.

Commenting on the launch, Navyug Mohnot, CEO, QAI said, “Years of rigorous research, training and practice in real world projects as consultants, has led to the creation of this program, suited for individuals irrespective of age or industry. With courses on Morphological Analysis, Identifying and Formulating Contradictions and Size-Time-Cost (STC) Operator amidst many others, this program is a part of our endeavor to create a truly innovative workforce.” (ANI)

Novel genetic risk factors for kidney disease identified

London, May 11 (ANI): Scientists have found three genes with common mutations that are associated with altered kidney disease risk.

One of the discovered genes, the UMOD gene, produces Tamm-Horsfall protein, the most common protein in the urine of healthy individuals, which was recently found to be linked with chronic kidney disease risk.

Chronic kidney disease is characterized by reduced kidney function or kidney damage. Its progression may lead to kidney failure, and the need for dialysis or transplantation.

It also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, mortality and medication side effects.

For the study, the researchers conducted genome-wide association studies of more than 20,000 people enrolled in four large population-based studies of cardiovascular disease risk factors, and even replicated their findings in another 20,000 participants.

Out of more than 2,500,000 genetic variants that were evaluated for each study participant, only three genes, UMOD, SHROOM3, and STC1 were found to be novel risk genes for reduced kidney function and chronic kidney disease.

“Previous research showed that rare mutations in the UMOD gene cause hereditary forms of severe kidney disease. Our research indicates that a common genetic variant with a frequency of 18 percent in populations of European ancestry is associated with about 25 percent lower risk of chronic kidney disease,” Nature magazine quoted Dr. Anna Kottgen, a researcher at Johns Hopkins and lead author of the study, as saying.

“We have known for a long time that a higher level of proteins, such as albumin, which aren’t usually present in urine, is a risk factor for kidney disease and its progression. The UMOD finding suggests that Tamm-Horsfall protein, which is thought to be a normal part of the urine, deserves attention since its genetic variation relates to risk,” said Dr. Josef Coresh, professor at Johns Hopkins.

He added: “For all three genes the findings are novel and suggest brand new areas for investigation including the need for developing methods to measure levels in urine or blood.”

The findings have been published in the journal Nature Genetics. (ANI)
