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...

Asia (China) is massively looking towards future... The Arab (Muslim) continent is divided: some are looking forward to hearing about the tomorrow-world... Emirates Airlines' compelling mantra is : "Hello Tomorrow". Turnover of Emirates accounts for 1/4 of the country's total. Europe is living (200%) in the past... The (not so compelling?) mantra here would sound more like: "History begins every morning" (cf. Tag Heuer's viral advertising)... America (the US) is divided too: California is not NY... whereas both are different from Ohio for instance... United States of America: not so united when it comes to answering the question: should we live in the future or in the past? Old world-new world... Is living in the now-world sooo shocking?
