The idea would be in my mind - and I know it sounds strange - is that the most important advances in medicine would be made not by new knowledge in molecular biology, because that's exceeding what we can even use.

I was working with stem cells as part of a NASA programme. We realised that the science of stem-cell proliferation was also fundamental to cancer cells when cancer enters the phase of metastasis. Patrick Soon-Shiong cancercellenter Change image and share on social
We need to think of chronic disease, hypertension, cancer, like H1N1. In fact, there's an epidemic of chronic disease. Patrick Soon-Shiong cancerchronicdisease Change image and share on social
