AI almost cured a dog of cancer (4 photos)

Without any significant experience in biology, the entrepreneur began exploring possible treatment options and consulting with artificial intelligence. Ultimately, he decided to try creating a personalized mRNA vaccine: they sequenced the dog's tumor, converted the DNA data into digital information, and used it to develop a genetic construct that would help the immune system recognize cancer cells.

To implement the idea, Cunningham brought in scientists, including chemist Paul Thordarson, and spent about $3,000 on developing the drug. According to the researchers, the main challenge was not the technology itself, but rather obtaining ethical approval for the use of the experimental drug.

After several months of waiting, the drug was finally administered to the dog. According to local media reports, Rosie's tumor has noticeably shrunk and her condition has improved. Scientists emphasize that this result cannot be considered a complete cure, but the case shows that personalized approaches and the use of AI can help accelerate the search for new treatments – at least in veterinary medicine.
