We Don't Have Flying Deloreans Or Hoverboards, But...

(Posted Under: 
Music, Technology)
At work today, I was flicking my iPhone screen, scrolling through artists for what I was going to listen to next. It's an occurrence that happens every day while spewing out PHP or Rails code. Every 40 minutes to an hour, when an album finishes playing. It's second nature.
But today, while scrolling to the Foo Fighters, then tapping the screen to start playing Wasting Light, the literal process stood out. A process that I take for granted daily. Just not in that moment. How freakin' sci-fi is this? That we flick a glass screen to find an album, tap on it, and music starts playing into your ears.
Evolution of technology numbs you to the amazement of it. Sure, when I got my iPhone last year, I was impressed with how it worked, compared to other mobile devices I've used. There were certain bells and whistles that excited me. But overall, with the proliferation of all the technologies that make up the iPhone in daily life over my entire lifetime (touch screens, mobile phones, digital audio, the internet), the cumulative progression makes for some of the amazement to be lost. Maybe most of it.
But y'know, in 1984, at age 7, fascinated with a mono radio cassette recorder, if you'd have told me I would be listening to music on this small wallet sized thing and flicking and tapping a screen to have any song from my vast music collection play on demand*, I would have laughed at such a concept. It would have blown my 7 year old mind. And sure, it would have sounded like a super sweet concept to that 7 year old. Just not one that was based in any sort of reality. But all these years later, here we are, and a reality it is.
Tomorrow I'll go right back to taking all of this for granted, as something that I'm completely used to and something I just expect and demand, living in 2012. But it doesn't change the fact - this shit is pretty amazing.
* Well, far from my entire music collection is on my piddly 16GB iPhone, which is a constant frustration when you have a 80GB iPod that does have it all. But that's something for another day.

美国医学界在2011年首次提出了“精准医学”的概念，今年1月20日，奥巴马又在美国国情咨文中提出“精准医学计划”，希望精准医学可以引领一个医学新时代。10月8日，2015全球创新论坛纽约峰会在纽约穆迪总部大楼举办。乐土投资集团CEO刘如银在峰会上介绍了他的精准医疗生态圈的想法。
刘如银介绍了乐土投资在美国的国际化实践，包括在美国的地产投资拓展，以及最新投资的医疗健康项目。乐土投资集团(CLIG)定位以硅谷的高科技投资为引擎，以科技医疗和互联网金融为两翼，链接最具价值的深科技健康项目，服务国际大健康和科技发展。
美国财政预算计划在2016年拨付给美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)、美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)、美国国家医疗信息技术协调办公室(ONC)等机构共2.15亿美元用于资助这方面的科学研究与创新发展。
刘如银说：美国的精准医疗主要是围绕着基因组、蛋白组等方面的检测，也就是围绕分子生物学的特性，针对个体化的病理特征进行治疗。而我们所关注的不仅如此，更是系统化的，全过程、全要素、全局性的对医疗过程和临床实践进行优化。我们所指的精准医疗也是针对每一个病人的具体病情，正确选择并精确的应用适当的治疗方法。刘如银认为：精准医疗的最终目标是以最小化的医源性损害、最低化的医疗资源耗费去获得最大化的病患的效益，其前景不可限量。
精准医疗要做到个性、高效及预防的关键在于筛查和诊断，因此基因测序等检测诊断技术的发展是关键。成本的下降让基因测序商业化市场的打开成为可能，基因测序技术的成熟和商用经过了多年的发展，1980 年自动测序仪出现，2001 年完成了人类基因组框架图标志着这一技术的成熟，2007 年二代基因测序技术大幅降低测序成本，使得这一技术应用出现可能，以走在前列的Illumina 公司为例，该公司自2007 年起把当时每个基因组的测序成本费用从1000万美元降到了当下的1000 美元， 根据Illumina 公司数据，全球NGS(二代基因测序)的应用市场规模预计为200 亿美元，药品研发和临床应用是增速最快的领域，增速超过15%，肿瘤诊断和个性化用药是最有应用前景的领域，市场规模120亿美元。乐土投资与Illumina以及新一代的基因检测公司Genalyte, Centrillion都有着合作关系。
刘如银说：精准医疗作为医疗模式的革新对提高我国国民健康水平有重要意义，将在基因测序技术发展和国家政策的推动下迎来黄金发展期。精准治疗是下一个新兴朝阳行业，我们关注基因测序、肿瘤诊断及个性化用药等相关投资机会。
全球创新论坛纽约峰会由全美华人金融协会(The Chinese Finance Association, TCFA) 主办。全美华人金融协会于一九九四年在美国成立。分布在世界各地的会员来自华尔街投行、基金、监管部门、和学术界，已成为联系中美金融界最重要的桥梁之一。协会定期举行学术年会。协会本部设在纽约，并在波士顿，华盛顿，旧金山，伦敦，香港，北京和上海等金融中心设有分会。
原招商银行行长马蔚华，中信银行美国分行行长文兵，汉世纪投资管理有限公司合伙人吴皓，联合国南南合作办首席经济与投资专家杨庆宏等参加了本年度会议并发表了讲话。
