1. Stem Cells.
Most folks know very little about stem cells. To bridge this gap, please review the following NIH website:

If you have heart disease, congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy, you would well-advised to visit the following website:

You may not be able to get these exciting treatments in the United States due to the red tape at the FDA, but Bangkok has FIVE premiere hospitals saving heart patients on a daily basis.
The European Society of Cardiology reports that “Stem Cells Heal Hearts!”. In fact, they report that the largest long-term stem cell study in cardiology history shows huge increase in quality of life for stem cell patients vs. serious deterioration for standard cardiology patients. And unfortunately, heart patients, limited to only standard cardiology, die at five times the rate of stem cell patients.

2. Genetics – Sequencing.
The advent of high-throughput next generation sequencing technologies have fostered enormous potential applications of supercomputing techniques in genome sequencing, epi-genetics, metagenomics, personalized medicine, discovery of non-coding RNAs and protein-binding sites.
Further, the next generation sequencing technologies will foster enormous potential applications of supercomputing techniques in genome sequencing, epi-genetics, metagenomics, personalized medicine, discovery of non-coding RNAs and protein-binding sites. And most importantly, next generation sequencing will substitute microarray techniques, the currently used technology in genomics and bioinformatics.
