Speaker bio:

Paul Conyngham is the founder of Gamgee, a Y Combinator company developing personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs. After 17 years in machine learning, Paul taught himself genomics and used AI to design a personalised vaccine for his dog Rosie, whose responsive tumours shrank by 50–75%.

Presentation outline:
- Rosie’s cancer and why existing treatments were not enough
- Using AI to cross from machine learning into genomics
- The journey from tumour sequencing to an administered mRNA vaccine
- What worked\, what failed and what one patient can teach us
- Turning a year-long manual process into repeatable software
- Why Gamgee is starting with dogs and where the technology goes next
