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...

Jesus-CRISPR Superstar
"A beginning is a very
delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10,191. The Known Universe
is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time,
the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The
spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital
to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has
mutated over 4,000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them
the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of universe
without moving. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you — the spice exists on only
one planet in the entire universe. A desolate, dry planet with vast
deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people
known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy that a man would
come, a messiah who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is
Arrakis, also known as Dune." (Source)
In March 2005, I've initiated a blog about bioethics. Organ replacement technologies and genomics are part of today's sustainable health economics. This is not medicine under ideological pressure ! ...
En mars 2005 j'ai initié un blog sur la bioéthique. A l'heure où les biotechs, la génomique, les imprimantes d'organes 3D, le coeur artificiel font parler d'eux, les personnels de santé et les "santoyens" ont un rôle à jouer pour diffuser l'innovation et réfléchir ensemble à une "nouvelle donne en santé", sans pressions idéologiques.
Visitez la librairie du Blog : vous êtes professionnels de la santé, acteurs des transplantations, patients en attente de greffe, grand public, biotech, politique ... Cette sélection est pour vous !
