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...

Coursera MOOC "Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression" Univ of Melbourne starting on April 28th

https://www.coursera.org/course/epigenetics

On epigenetics: "The Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression course will start on the 28th of April, 2014. In case you'd like to brush up a little on genetics before we start, and you haven't had a chance to take another one of the genetics MOOCs available, you could take a look at this resource."

"You may also like to watch some short animations that cover transcription and translation, and one which specifically goes into epigenetics and X chromosome inactivation, which we'll cover in the course."
