Australian man used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine for his rescue dog from scratch. He paid $3000 to sequence her tumour DNA, AI identified mutated proteins, matched them to drug targets. Tumour halved, dog is alive and happy!
The ingenuity of the Australian people. So much talent, skill and intelligence in this country. We should be a tech powerhouse like Japan or Taiwan

this is actually insane

> pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA
> feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold
> zero background in biology
> identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets
> design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch
> genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own
> need ethics approval to administer it
> red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine
