@martinalexsmith.bsky.social at @ramacgenomics.bsky.social did the sequencing, my team at the UNSW RNA Institute @unswchemistry.bsky.social made the mRNA & LNP and Rachel Allavena UQ treated Rosie using also a checkpoint inhibitor. But AI & Paul enabled this to be done in a distribution fashion.
Which is why this is quite possible a major milestone in the direction of fulfilling Dyson's prophecy about domesticated Biotechnology. See the post fron Ash on X here: x.com/i/status/203...
I feel privileged & honoured on a day like to day when we celebrate two new PhD's from our group; Dr. Anika Moller and Dr. Keerthana Nakka as well as BSc Honours Medicinal Chemistry AND the University Medal for Emma Beukers. Very proud of Anika, Keerthana & Emma. The future belongs to you! #ozchem
As per Ash on X (see link later in the thread), the steps we did were fairly standard but it was Paul the AI expert that used AI to guide the workforce, do the actual mRNA design and bringing us as a team together: to do the sequencing, make the mRNA-LNP and perform the multi-modal treatment
@ashjogalekar.bsky.social Summarised beautifully on X the most profound lesson re Rosie and her personalised canine cancer vaccine, namely that Paul Conyngham's work here using AI to design the mRNA we made, demonstrates that Dyson's prophecy about "domesticating" Biotech is within reach! #ozchem
