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!

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...

New Era Of Cognitive Computing

A computer that can think like Sheldon Cooper, or Leonard, or any other character of "The Big Bang Theory"... I'm a creative type but I could be a computer...

IBM reprend du poil de la bête. C'est passionnant ce qu'ils font... et spectaculaire!... Il y a beaucoup de grands talents qui bossent à IBM en ce moment...
À l'université de California Irvine aussi. Pierre Baldi travaille avec son équipe à un système d'IA permettant de répondre par les mêmes techniques de parallélisme intensif et de calcul bayésien que Watson à des questions de mise en place optimale de séquences génétiques (si j'ai bien compris son affaire). Il le nomme bien entendu "Crick" !
