Tortoise in from the University of NSW join us now good day to you gents hello to the beautiful Rose here looking fit and healthy Paul incredible story this you know vets told you that rose had just months to live but you refused to give up and you turned to chat a chat bot instead. Roses my best mate and she's been with me through really tough times through a breakup through hard business deals by walks in the forest and when when she was. Handed this this the sentence I felt I had to do my part for her as well yeah So what it what did you do walk us through it Well we we we took her tumour we sequenced the DNA we converted it from like tissue to data and then we use that to sort of find search for the the problem in in in her DNA and then develop a cure based off that and chat LGBT found found that assisted throughout the entire. Process incredible. Yeah. Have you got a tech background? Yes, yeah, yes. That's just amazing. Paul. The RNA institute is the one that created the vaccine for Rose based on Paul's AI code. Were you skeptical at first when you heard about this? Surely I was. I was a bit probably mainly just I thought this might take too long. And and I guess one of the things we learned from this process too, the technology even though we we've been working with similar MRI for years and just didn't think we could do this quickly and it would be in time. To really help Roshi. So it's just been an amazing project for us to be involved in. So how quickly did you manage to turn it around, turn it into a vaccine and be able to give it to Rose? Yeah. So once we had the sequence that Paul designed, yeah, it was less than two months from that point till we handed it over to to Paul, who took it to the to help her. And Paul, how quickly did did Rose start responding? Right. So it took about it took about a month. Wow. Around the start of December. She was her mobility. Is way down, I'm just going to shut down and be a bit sad. And towards the end of January she was jumping over a fence to chase a rabbit. Ohh my goodness. You must be over the moon. This. This is life changing. Yeah. Yeah, sure. It's I I think it's, it's added considerable lifespan and health span to Rose. Yeah. Paul is if this works for a dog, like if we now get excited about what else it could do, is there any chance this could reshape the future for treating, you know, cancer in humans? Absolutely. And there are companies, including Montana, who are working on personalized cancer vaccines. But I think what this taught me is 2 things. We can actually do this here. We don't have to. Should we rely on on foreign companies to help us doing this? And that means we can democratize this technology in Australia and we can also use it for other diseases possible. Yeah, absolutely. Neurological diseases, for instance, Paul, I know.
