Hosts: Marc Pelletier and Leo Laporte Guest: Dr. John J. Bergeron, is Professor and Chair of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University, and former President of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO), and founder of Caprion Proteomics John has just completed his tenure as president of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO). He explains how the science of proteomics is bringing us toward a COMPLETE understanding of the human anatomy down to the molecular (protein) level. We are moving toward a new level of molecular medicine with a near atomic "atlas" of the human body. Diagnosing cancer could eventually be done using a minute sample of blood, and earlier than ever imagined, by simply looking at protein profiles. It is clear that any conversation about biotechnology must inevitably include proteomics... Thanks to Cachefly for providing the bandwidth for this netcast. And also thanks to Philippe Pelletier for the great new opening theme and to Will Hall for the closing theme!!!
