MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH? Part I
Even though the extraordinary advances in medicine during the last century extended the average human life span from about 30 years at the dawning of the twentieth century to 76 at the beginning of the new millenium, man continues to consider eternal youth as a much longed-for utopia. Lifespan is still limited by the impossibility of finding new organs to replace those damaged by age, accidents or disease and by the lack of cure for cancer and infectious and cardiovascular diseases. However, scientific advances produced during the 1990´s began to plant the idea that, even if eternal youth is not yet within our grasp, extending the lifespan up to 150 years will be a possibility within the next quarter-century.

FUNTIONAL GENOMICS: GENOMES AT WORK
After the groundbreaking gene-splicing experiment of Paul Berg in 1972, Molecular Biology exploded. Soon everybody was cloning genes, the biological barriers between all kind of biological barriers were broken with transgenic experiments, the amounts of DNA bases sequenced per day went past the 10,000 in less than five years, and the duplication of DNA in the lab was increased to never undreamed of speeds thanks to the technique of PCR. Soon scientists realized that working one gene at a time was an extremely slow work and the idea was came up: “let's sequenced the whole genome.” Thus was born The Human Genome Project (HGP)and a new science Genomics. Here we will talk about genomes at work.,After the groundbreaking gene-splicing experiment of Paul Berg in 1972, Molecular Biology exploded.

WHERE ARE THE WONDER DRUGS OF BIOTECH?
In 2000 I wrote an article on Pharmacogenomics another science born out of the Human Genome Project. It tries to correlate an individual’s genetic make up to his or her response to drug treatment, in other words, personalized medicine. In that article I also discussed how I thought that Pharma companies would go about it. Today, I think that even though my initial approach was right, it was rather naive. It did not take into account the profit factor. That is, I approached it as a scientific problem without considering the economic aspects of it.
