17 year old girl finds possible cancer cure

[brieze]

Kind of an old story but I don't remember seeing it on here,


http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57358994/calif-hs-student-devises-possible-cancer-cure/

Angela's idea was to mix cancer medicine in a polymer that would attach to nanoparticles -- nanoparticles that would then attach to cancer cells and show up on an MRI. so doctors could see exactly where the tumors are. Then she thought shat if you aimed an infrared light at the tumors to melt the polymer and release the medicine, thus killing the cancer cells while leaving healthy cells completely unharmed.

So simple.

Damn...she stole my idea.

Wow, amazing girl.

 

[Aeval]

Wow, amazing girl.

Really eh, she's meant for great things.

Isn't it awful when they make it sound really simple? I feel like I should have been curing world hunger today instead of dusting bookcases

Tomorrow's not touched.

Srsly. And I bet the molecular biologists and doctors that went to school for 10+ years are kicking themselves.

The simple things in life can prove to be the biggest of improvements.

Simple ideas are sometimes the best.

Isn't it a bit fishy that it matches up with this article I happen to google on the topic of Polymer and Cancer that was posted in 2009 ?

I have to question that a high school girl with limited tools could find such a discovery but yet I wonder why this person has not yet stepped forward to claim his credit.. She may be bright but damn think about what this assistant professor had as equipment and research funds at Purdue..

Hummm...

 

[MrHeinz]

That is strange.

 

[darkcgi]

Im think you mean they didnt think of that do watch tv im in the wrong profession

 

[Francis]

I'm just thinking something is really wrong in general.. My opinion only..

 

[Dana]

Will never happen not within this life time as long as big corporate companies control medicine and therapy cancer will run rampant. It's a money game and they're playing with peoples lives literally.

There is more money in keeping people sick than curing them.

 

[Francis]

Did you guys bother reading the link and follow up link or just rather talk out of your ...

 

[Dana]

Whose talking out of their ass?

Whose talking out of their ass?

What's the OP about, the year and the link pertaining to as far as the discovery the student made Dana?

Followed by my link and it's relevance?

Than explain how that relates to your post and the topic in specific?

I'm surprised her teacher didnt pick up her plaigerism, or the reporter who did the story.

I agree!! But again where is the assistant professor to protect his discovery ?

Very odd indeed.
