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...

Meeting With My Mentor (UK Publishing House)

I've decided to write sci-fi. 3 projects under development, but I'm not a native English speaker (French and German native speaker). So this idea to publish English books (3 fictions) was kind of making me totally stressed.

Had lunch (Publishing houses love throwing lunch and dinner parties with their authors, don't they?) with my "mentor", Jon. He is British, has a university background in life science and 3 MBAs -- one in Finance, one in Project Management and the other one, I don't remember the specialization, but he also mentioned PRINCE II in the process. He is an expert in sci-fi, and seems to be quite strict. I was rather impressed by his culture and nervous (my sci-fi culture is obviously deficient), but we ended up getting along quite well. I'm very grateful for the mentoring in sci-fi (clearly lacking expertise here), and for the guidance in the proofreading process and all...

Already working with a professional book cover designer, so... yes, the whole thing is more or less getting real I guess...

Still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of the adventure... Will be meeting with my mentor in France (Chatou, Paris area) and in Oxford UK. BTW, I just love that Blackwell's bookstore in Oxford...
