GEORGE CHURCH'S "recent work is development of a technology for synthesizing whole genes, and potentially whole gene circuits, that is faster, more accurate, and significantly less expensive than current methods. In 1984, he developed the first direct genomic sequencing method, which resulted in the first commercial genome sequence. He helped initiate the Human Genome Project in 1984 and the Personal Genome Project in 2005."" " http://lnkd.in/dKFVRvx View in LinkedIn

GEORGE CHURCH: Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Director of PersonalGenomes.org, (the world's only open-access information on human Genomic data). Walter Gilbert was hisHarvard PhD thesis Advisor. His research formed 12 companies including in medical genomics (Knome, Alacris, AbVitro, GoodStart, Pathogenica); in synthetic biology (LS9, Joule , Gen9, Warp Drive); as well as biosafety & biosecurity policies. He is director of the NIH Center for Excellence in Genomic Science. " " http://lnkd.in/dFQbg93 View in LinkedIn

GENOMICS AND P4 MEDICINE. "Genomics...forms the foundation of personalized medicine." A beautiful clear statement. This is an example of the unforeseen consequences of the effort that began with the Human Genome Project in 1990 and was completed in 2003. This was perhaps the greatest feat of exploration in history and its consequences are starting to cause a paradigm shift in medicine. " " http://lnkd.in/bxXerza View in LinkedIn

OPTIMIZING WELLNESS. "P4 Medicine is the convergence of systems medicine, big data and patient (consumer) driven healthcare and social networks. Hood’s vision is that in 10 years each individual will be surrounded by a virtual cloud of billions of data points and that we will have the computational tools to analyze this data and produce simple hypotheses about how to optimize wellness and minimize disease for each individual. The patient’s demand for better healthcare will be the real driving force." " " http://lnkd.in/bbCh8W2 View in LinkedIn

PATIENT-CENTRIC MEDICINE. "P4 Medicine is a term coined by biologist Leroy Hood, and is short for "Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory Medicine." The premise of P4 Medicine is that, over the next 20 years, medical practice will be revolutionized by biotechnology."" " http://lnkd.in/bbCh8W2 View in LinkedIn

EUROPEAN VCS still have a pulse for early-stage deals, and are in sharp contrast to US VCs who have migrated to a myopic focus on digital health. Not only are European VCs investing early, they are also doing so in biotech and biopharma companies at a preclinical stage, which has not happened in the US for many years. European deals are also still very significantly undervalued. " " http://m.mddionline.com/node/10902?cid=nl.mddi01 View in LinkedIn
