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...

Meet Patrick Soon-Shiong, The Billionaire Reinventing Your Health
"While the most powerful man in Washington struggles to expand health insurance, the richest man in Los Angeles
is methodically constructing a far more fundamental medical effort: a
digitally enabled, science-driven, personalized health care system.
With Washington distracted by the insurance issue -- and with federal science and tech research hampered by 'sequester' budget cuts -- privately funded efforts such as Soon-Shiong’s are all the more crucial."

Edit the genome in all different ways and make cuts and changes in a quick way, with CRSPRs
![]() |
| Meet with one of those babies from the CRSPR family... |
From the "Genomics-it's-happening-right-under-our-feet" Department:
CRSPR (pronounce "crisper") means clustered regular short palindromatic repeats. And this is a Bacteria-Side Story...
Do people realize how quickly genetic engineering is approaching? W/ CRSPR we are really nearing the point where this’ll be going in vivo.

@Billare @joe_pickrell Yes, the designer babies are coming! They will be a little mosaic at first w the crspr tech as I understand it.
