would be an era of precision medicine. Based on personalized medicine and
combined with genome sequencing technology, proteomics technology would develop
more "appropriate" prevention, diagnosis and treatment options for the human
body. The Turing Award Winner Professor Joseph Sifakis elaborated on the
opportunities and threats in the knowledge revolution. He said that the role of
