A rescue dog diagnosed with advanced cancer became the focus of an unusual scientific effort after her owner used artificial intelligence to design a personalised vaccine.
A technology entrepreneur created a custom cancer vaccine for his dog after veterinarians warned she had only months to live. Paul Conyngham, a Sydney-based data scientist and machine learning engineer, used artificial intelligence tools to analyse his dog Rosie's tumour and develop a targeted treatment. The project later drew attention from researchers after the experimental vaccine appeared to shrink a large tumour.
