AI Helps Create Cancer Vaccine for Dying Dog
- Sydney-Based tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to develop a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine for his rescue dog Rosie after standard chemotherapy and surgery failed to stop her mast cell cancer.
- Nanomedicine pioneer Pall Thordarson at the UNSW RNA Institute stepped in after Conyngham reached out, using genomic data to create a bespoke vaccine in less than two months.
- Observations over recent months confirm tumors responded positively, with one "halved" by treatment. "In December she had low energy because the tumors were creating a huge burden for her," Conyngham told The Australian.
- "This is the first time a personalized cancer vaccine has been designed for a dog," Conyngham told The Australian, with researchers believing this therapy could eventually enable personalized treatments for individual humans.
- Biomedical engineer Patrick Heiser cautioned the process is "trivially easy" to perform, noting science remains "extremely far away from 'proving that it works'." Science is hard.
