Tech entrepreneur uses ChatGPT to create a personalised cancer vaccine for his DOG - and the breakthrough could soon help humans too

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.'

Mr Conyngham then got in touch with Páll Thordarson, the director of the renowned UNSW RNA Institute, who used the data to create the world-first vaccine.

I hope they continue the research to help other dogs.

I knew AI would have success in developing treatments for common ailments because of AI’s ability to amass data sets from all over the world; this is truly amazing!

Keep your vaccines. I didn’t get the jabs, and stopped getting the flu shot all together when the Scamdemic occurred.

The wonder jab for osteosarcoma was re-released too late for my baby boy.

. When he died, he pretty much took most of me with him.

There are people fighting to use human treatments on dogs but the med jerks are balking.

Canine osteosarcoma is virtually identical to childhood osteosarcoma but kids can be cured of it while dogs get an automatic death sentence.

When I’m uncertain about a story, I check to see if other news agencies are picking it up. Lo and behold, they are. Maybe you should try it sometime.

Because it saves dogs and humans should not have dogs as pets because they fart too much, or something?

Given all that dogs have been put through in regards to medical testing, why would anyone care if something beneficial is tried out on dogs, especially if it’s already known to work and can save its life? The whole OMG(!) humans-taking-horse-paste nonsense was bad enough during COVID. So what?! Who did it harm?

How much did it cost to do all this?

That’s one of thorns in our side.

You can torture them for the medical miracles you later withhold from them and it’s “just fine”.

Recently there’s been a crusade to have people donate their pacemakers upon death because they’re then used to save dogs

So at least there’s that

Guy I know has lost a dog to osteosarcoma and he regularly goes to medical symposiums trying to convince his peers to break the barrier between human/animal treatments.

(“Modalities” is a word I hear often)
I proofread his research for him often and it’s lofty stuff, far beyond my ken.

(I just check/correct spelling and grammar)

He’s leaving his sizable fortune to this very cause.
