Entrepreneur Uses AI To Create Dog Vaccine
Australian tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham used ChatGPT and DeepMind's AlphaFold to sequence his dog Rosie's tumour and design a custom mRNA vaccine, according to interviews published March 15, 2026. He paid AU$3,000 for genomic sequencing via UNSW Ramaciotti Centre, obtained ethics approval, and began injections in December; the tumour has reportedly shrunk and he is developing a second vaccine.
