"Manhattan Scale" project on BioSciences, Translational Medicine and BioEngineering

I'll start a Manhattan Scale project on BioSciences, Translational Medicine and BioEngineering - that will define the frontiers of Healthcare and related fields - like Environment, Energy (Fuel; Photosynthesis inspired Solar Cells?) & Sustainability, Agriculture.

• Cancer, Ebola, Parkinson's, AIDS, Alzheimer's,
• Disabilities and losses (Eyesight loss; Limb Amputee, etc. <- Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine. We can replace with Mechanical / Physical parts as long as we our Stem Cell / Regenerative Medicine Tech is not advanced enough - but remember - Biology - is the ultimate technology.

My Guiding Principle would be - Restore the Normal (as opposed to the artificial - Mechanical devices or Pills or Drugs) - possibly through

• Stem Cell / Regenerative Medicine or
• Gene Therapy.

As long as we can't make headway in Stem Cell / Gene Therapy - we can do away with Drugs and Devices - but the ultimate future is Biology.

My Plan is to build

• Medical / Scientific / Engineering Equipments (that would be required in my own research) and
• Sell and use the profit to fund my research / further work.

So only limited funding would be required in the first phase - and from that point on self - funding / reinvesting.

Equipments would require continuous innovations and improvements. For example,

• Gene Sequencers (Bringing down the cost of Gene sequencing of a single Genome to several hundred dollars or maybe $100.)
• Robots that automate much of Experimental work. [Consider: Combinatorial Chemistry - parallel reactions]

Another line of products (lots of innovations)

• Medical / Surgical Equipments (from smaller Ultra-Sounds to "Da Vinci"-like Surgical Robots)
• Healthcare IT Infrastructure and Services (to Hospitals, Clinics) - Examples:
• Sensors that measure Body parameters and store data in Database / Cloud <- Big Data 2.0 on Data;
• Watson-like AI on Medical Literature (e.g., Pubmed) to augment Medical Researchers and Physicians

Hiring
 

A few 

BioEngineering / BioMedical Engineering / Molecular Biology / Cell Biology / BioChemistry / BioPhysics / BioInformatics / Computational Biology PhDs

- each concentrating on a particular part - under my supervision:

• One researcher concentrating on Transport system of Cells - 2013 Nobel Physiology or Medicine Prize Work (Collaborating with other researchers focused on other Cellular organelles or Extra-cellular Matrix)

• Another researcher concentrating on Spatial Representations and Motor Planning in the Brain - 2014 Nobel Physiology or Medicine Prize Work
• Couple working on how to repair / replace Damaged Organs with Tissue / Organs grown from Stem Cells - carrying on the 2012 Nobel Physiology or Medicine Prize Work

Policy Reform:

I will review and modernize the FDA (Drug, Medical Device) appoval process.

Going through a process that takes 10 years and costs Billion Dollars - after inventing a drug [and device] - to bring it to market - kills off many promising drugs.

Other "Manhattan Scale" Projects / Innovations:

 

Education Platform

• Huge! Reinvention of Education. Changes the way Education is delivered, the way how people learn in each and every country of the World. [Microsoft?]
• E-Book 2.0 / E-Magazine 2.0 / E-Newspaper 2.0 & Digital Publishing

Artificial Intelligence Platform

• Watson-like Natural Language Understanding + A Lot More 
• Less computational resource requirement; Highly developed Knowledge Processing / Reasoning 
• Apps and Services on Top of the Platform

Cloud Manufacturing Platform + Physical Digital Computing Division

• This is where the Medical / Surgical / Scientific Equipments would be manufactured. 
• + Manufacturing Equipments and Services for Companies 
• Materials / Nano / Applied Physics / Engineering Research

Knowledge Based Robotics

• Imagine: Robot Engineers repairing your Car.

• Robots in Industry. Home. Healthcare. Service Robots.
