Ha I love the writing spree man, that's what I expected! I hear you, I'm in full agreement, and I think personalized medicine will indeed blow up in the future, especially with the increasingly smaller cost of running entire genome screens for individuals on a commercial basis and the new techniques. Very lucrative and interesting field (in fact I have urged my sister, who is a very well educated pharmacist, to keep tabs on the field for future work).

For bioengineered bacterias, yeah I remember reading about the bioprogramming languange that came out of MIT, super super promising field too. Actually here's a commercial idea: bioengineered bacteria that you apply to your mouth, they kill the pathogenic germs, live symbiotically in your mouth without harming your health, and also releasing whitening substances. Keeping your mouth healthy and your teeth white 24/7, say goodbye to brushing. Ha I think it's a sexy idea :P

Man so many cool things are to come in the future, so so excited! Let's share cool stories with each other as they come :)
