Anyone know of promising cancer startups? Was listening to a podcast that mentioned pancreatic cancer mortality rates and it's basically a death sentence (stage 1 85%+, later 95%+)

I don't drink or smoke but would love to avoid cancers. Wife was working at a great one but it basically shutdown cause clinical trials are so expensive.

We need more advanced clinical trial /organ-body simulations.

That's what we as Computer Scientists can do... if we could have a sufficiently good virtual representation of the human body (at least enough parts of it)the cost and time of human trials would be reduced so much... it would be revolutionary.
