Scientific MOOCs follower. Author of Airpocalypse, a techno-medical thriller (Out Summer 2017)


Welcome to the digital era of biology (and to this modest blog I started in early 2005).

To cure many diseases, like cancer or cystic fibrosis, we will need to target genes (mutations, for ex.), not organs! I am convinced that the future of replacement medicine (organ transplant) is genomics (the science of the human genome). In 10 years we will be replacing (modifying) genes; not organs!

Anticipating the $100 genome era and the P4™ medicine revolution. P4 Medicine (Predictive, Personalized, Preventive, & Participatory): Catalyzing a Revolution from Reactive to Proactive Medicine.

I am an early adopter of scientific MOOCs. I've earned myself four MIT digital diplomas: 7.00x, 7.28x1, 7.28.x2 and 7QBWx. Instructor of 7.00x: Eric Lander PhD.

Upcoming books: Airpocalypse, a medical thriller (action taking place in Beijing) 2017; Jesus CRISPR Superstar, a sci-fi -- French title: La Passion du CRISPR (2018).

I love Genomics. Would you rather donate your data, or... your vital organs? Imagine all the people sharing their data...

Big Pharma and Hollywood: the NO INNOVATION mantra

Big Pharma and Hollywood gained their privileges because of the innovation (breakthrough) they brought about... Now they take those privileges for granted... Fire the innovative people and hire financial and legal experts instead... whose mission is: maintain the privileges at all costs. Forget about the innovation...

It is only normal that, in such a context, innovative people try to achieve hudge, hollywood-like projects... but innovative projects... Just like Hollywood did in the past...

Think of "Avatar", the "Lord of the Ring" Trilogy...

Did you know that you can print your own medicine thanks to 3D bioprinting? You no longer need the "help" of Big Pharma to find and take your medication...

Hollywood and Big Pharma: Barbarians became Emperors... A well-known story... And yet... Other Barbarians are ready for a "war" against Emperors... Another well-known story?...
