The impact of advancement in biotechnology on our life in the past and in the future. - About drugs from our body,
human cloning, and personalized medicine
By: Dr. Jing-Shan Hu, Manager, Toxicology/Pharmacogenomics, Affymetrix Inc
Since the founding of biotechnology industry more than two decades ago and the opening of genomics arena more than a decade ago, the technology advancement in biology has revolutionized the approach to understand and treat diseases. Drugs based on components made by human bodies (proteins, genes, stem cells) have been successfully developed or on their way to clinical application. Meanwhile, human cloning is no longer something unlikely. It also becomes more and more apparent that different individuals could respond to the same therapy differently, most likely due to the subtle difference in the genetic makeup of each individual. One person’s medicine can be another person’s poison. Therefore, personalized medicine will be important for future drug design and patient treatment. How and why the advancement of biotechnology would make an impact on our life will be discussed at this session. Jing-Shan Hu received her B.S. degree in Biochemistry from Peking University. Through CUSBEA program, she enrolled in Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences of University of Texas at Houston and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center where she obtained Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
