A tech entrepreneur has created a personalised cancer vaccine for his dog, a breakthrough experts say could shape the future of human medicine.

Sydney man Paul Conyngham adopted his 'best mate' Rosie, an eight-year-old staffy-Shar Pei cross in 2019.

In 2024, the canine was diagnosed with mast cell cancer after large tumours started to appear on one of her back legs.

Mast cell cancer is the most common skin cancer found in dogs, and often appears as lumps, nodules or masses in the skin.

Mr Conyngham spent thousands on veterinary chemotherapy for Rosie, which slowed the spread of the tumours but failed to shrink them.

The tech expert decided to turn to ChatGPT to ask for possible cures for the cancer, later using the technology to sequence Rosie's DNA and design a world-first custom mRNA vaccine for the sick pooch.

'We took her tumour, sequenced the DNA, we converted it from tissue to data, and we used that to find the problem in her DNA and then develop a cure based off that,' Mr Conyngham told the Today Show on Saturday.

'ChatGPT assisted throughout that entire process.'


quote:

Mr Conyngham said it took about a month to see results from the vaccine, which to date has shrunk the tumour by 75 per cent.

He said Rosie was losing her mobility in December, but by January he was shocked to see her jump over a fence to chase a rabbit.

'I think it's added considerable life and healthspan to Rosie,' he said.

Dr Thordason said the world-first vaccine 'absolutely' could be used to treat human cancer patients in the future.

'There are companies including Moderna that are working on personalised cancer vaccines, but I think what this taught me is two things; We can actually do this here, we don't have to necessarily rely on foreign companies to help us do this.

'That means we can democratise this technology in Australia. And we can also use it for other diseases, neurological diseases, for instance.'

Did he come to the OT and start a thread entitled

“I asked chatgpt to develop a personalized dog vaccine”

Phizer, Johnson & Johnson and Moderna have all of the science. Everything else is horse paste. Viva big Pharma, our benevolent gatekeepers.

I have been able to use ChatGPT to do similar things and create multiple scientific breakthroughs. It’s truly a remarkable tool. Changing the world before our eyes. It actually does more than answer basic questions and render customized pictures.

My wife has ALS and I'm someone that won't quit ever. This thread has me thinking about a path forward.

I really dont like the answer the medical community has to my wife's condition.
