Microsoft says it will 'solve' cancer in the next 10 years
Microsoft has announced an ambitious plan to use computer science to 'solve' cancer within the next decade.While that plan involves many ambitious projects, one of the most interesting of proposals involves creating ultra-small DNA computers that can live inside a person's body, monitoring for cancer cells and reprogramming them into healthy cells as soon as they pop up."I think it's a very natural thing for Microsoft to be looking at because we have tremendous expertise in computer science and what is going on in cancer is a computational problem," Chris Bishop from Microsoft Research told Sarah Knapton at The Telegraph."It's not just an analogy, it's a deep mathematical insight.

How Microsoft aims to use software to 'solve' cancer
Microsoft researchers are doing a bug bash on cancer, complete with software code names like "Project Hanover."Some of them are actually drilling down into our genetic code, looking for ways to reprogram the immune system to combat cancer cells more effectively."If you can do computing with biological systems, then you can transfer what we've learned in traditional computing into medical or biotechnology applications," Microsoft's Neil Dalchau says in the company's in-depth report about its cancer moonshots.Others are enlisting the power of cloud computing to identify which treatment would work best for a particular cancer patient, based on his or her personalized medical profile.Microsoft and AstraZeneca are already using a software tool known as the Bio Model Analyzer to figure out why leukemia patients respond differently to different treatments.
