      Your vote will be your contribution to the fight against cancer.
      I am dedicating and will cotinue to dedicate a large part of my career to defeating cancer.

      To defeat cancer, I will research new ways of exploiting the magnetic field created by the machines and get more accurate information about cancer. This will enable surgeons to take the cancers out more effectively (did you know that even after successful treatment, some people are left so mutilated that they suffer for the rest of their lives – sometime not able to speak, or sometimes with a bag on their belly – google ‘colostomy’).

      I will also create computer programs which will read those pictures, just like us humans, and pick things that are too small to be detected by human eye. I infact already have a few small artificial intelligence programs I am experimenting on which will help me detect cancer of pancreas.

      To get new research and new treatment. Please refer to my answer here

      I don’t work on cancer cures, but I agree it’s a very important area of research!

      Fwiw: My project is more about getting more people to think about space science and exploring the solar system. I want to send high-altitude balloons to the edge of space, with student experiments on board. About 30 km above Earth the conditions are similar to the surface of Mars.
