An institution with the best technology, a high budget and maximum freedom of research to bring human life to the threshold of 125 years. This project was born in Incheon, South Korea Seong-Jin Kim, internationally renowned researcher and director of the center, is recruiting researchers around the world who can contribute to the project, and casts its eye on Italy. He speaks of the Sole 24 Ore.
" He wants us all to live from 100 to 125 years - writes Il Sole 24 Ore - and it runs a place where there are 50 thousand mice, many of which can be transformed into transgenic rats. Kim Seong-Jin, 53, is director of the Cancer and Lee Gyl Diabets Institute, opened last May 9 in Songdo Techno Park in the Free economy zone (Fez) in Incheon, a center of advanced, up 13 thousand square meters, which will be the centerpiece of an emerging "global biomedical cluster and a community international researchers.
" The goal in life to 125 years" - states - has been identified by the President of Gachon Gil Foundation, Lee Gil-ya, who recruited Kim, known scientist with long experience in Japan (Tsukuba University) and the U.S. (National Cancer Institute, with Michael Sporn), giving users the best of machinery and the greatest flexibility. Including scientists from abroad to call: after all, The basic idea of \u200b\u200bFez is to create conditions to attract the best minds and institutions, even foreign, with a general deregulation, by having the ability to offer for-profit medical services without red tape. "
"Now we 120 - Kim says - but the system will come to more than 400 scientists . Japanese researchers have already arrived from abroad and Americans. We are also in negotiations with several European institutions, but I have the freedom to call whoever I want. If anyone is interested in Italy come here, you may contact me. "
" The institute - says the article - that next year will also have a master's student , has an airy design and full transparency ("Design has done a Korean architect who has lived 15 years in Italy) and did not suspect that the lower floors are hiding tens of thousands of mice. "Thanks to advanced imaging machine, the one in Korea, we can get a lot of data without killing them," says Kim: But it is obvious that the injection of genes that cause cancer shortens the life of animals from 2 years to 2 weeks or months . In addition there is the custom here that the researcher should make a sort of funeral the rat killing. In any case in Korea - which in recent years has begun to get used to the shocking news-cloning - the concerns "ethical" appear lower: overrides the objective. "
" Institute - says Kim Il Sole 24 Ore - has a handling fee of $ 26 million year, but plans to rebuild quickly with royalties for at least 50 million. The plan is sequential genomic research and its practical applications. From custom genomic mapping opens up new frontiers. For the first mapping staff took 13 years and $ 2.6 billion. Though I have done to make 250 thousand dollars. In two years will be available in less than half an hour to 2 thousand dollars era is dawning for all of the specific preventive medicine and personalized medical treatments .
