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...

"Homo Sapiens is a profit-driven species"
"Personnellement je pense que la génomique pourrait à terme réduire le marché de la médecine réparatrice ... et cela ne doit pas plaire à certains ... il faut toujours essayer de comprendre pourquoi les gens disent ce qu'ils disent ... sachant que l'Homo Sapiens est guidé par son intérêt ..."
"My personal opinion is that genomic precision medicine will eventually disrupt replacement medicine... Now some people will embrace the change, some others won't, depending on where their interest lies. Homo Sapiens is a profit-driven species."

Having your genome sequenced at your own request or initiative is forbidden by law in France. L.O.L.

"David Deamer made this sketch in 1989 when the idea for nanopore sequencing came to him. One day in 1989, biophysicist David Deamer pulled his car off California’s Interstate 5 to hurriedly scribble down an idea. In a mental flash, he had pictured a strand of DNA threading its way through a microscopic pore. Grabbing a pen and a yellow pad, he sketched out a radical new way to study the molecule of life. Twenty-five years later, the idea is now being commercialized as a gene sequencing machine that’s no larger than a smartphone, and whose effects might eventually be similarly transformative." Source.
