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...

Is there no profit in keeping us well?

Carla N. Berg: There is an increasing cohort of leadership level voices working hard for constructive change in health and medicine-- a prime example being Eric Topol MD of Scripps who has used his several platforms to spread conversations involving the 'creative destruction' of medicine itself (look for his book about same on Amazon) or follow the hashstream #cdom on Twitter and note who contributes.

And for fans of change at a more localized level, see the increasing cohort of articulate docs at places like KevinMD, The HealthCare Blog (THCB), 33 Charts, Wing of Zock, and of course, our own site at participatorymedicine.org.

You are reminding me I need to make a list and share it! But do take heart -- the 'movement' for constructive change in healthcare really is gaining steam ;->
