      Hi Raja,

      Nice to hear from you again. One thing I reported several years ago, is about a rare cancer called GIST. I found that it had spread into a patient’s heart. This was not known to happen before, so my results added some value there. Here’s the link (Luckily the patient survived the cancer after operation).

      There are sooo many exciting ways a person can do intersting stuff. Just recently I applied for a £20,000 fund to hopefully develop somthing similar to ecology models (used to predict animal habitats) to predict cancer cells inside lung cancer. Fingers crossed!
