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...

"42 Born to Code" School Song (made in France)

YOUR CONVOCATION LETTER 2.0
Want to learn programming languages? You'll be the Wizard of Tomorrow! 

At "Poudlard 42 school" they'll teach you that, and at last you'll be able to forget about the alphabet and military discipline (the 1.0 world)... 

To make short a looooong story: meet Matilda, a teen girl who learned programming languages all by herself... and in the process got soooo bored at school (gave her a taste of military life and she didn't like it)... Matilda ends up leaving the "1.0 school" (the Trunchbull one) and finds a new, much more suitable teacher: Miss Honey, teaching at the Poudlard Academy of Programming Language Wizards, the 42 school that has a compelling mantra: "Born To Code"!

THIS COULD BE YOUR OWN STORY! JOIN THAT "42" SCHOOL NOW! HERE'S YOUR CONVOCATION LETTER 2.0!

Ethics, Health and Death 2.0 a dit…

Pour faire de bons reins artificiels, il y a besoin de tas de programmes et de bons programmeurs !! Sans compter ceux qui font les programmes des imprimantes 3D. Ces imprimantes 3D peuvent imprimer des objets, mais aussi du matériel biologique humain : peau, os, trachée, reins (qui ne fonctionnent pas encore pour la transplantation, mais un jour ...)
