There's a small but very important MCM update on the University Health Network article about the transfer of WCG to the Krembil Research Institute.
----------------------------------------"Each of Krembil's research pillars require a considerable computational commitment, from identifying novel prognostic or predictive biomarkers to therapeutic targets. One of WCG's programs – Mapping Cancer Markers – identified and validated a diagnostic group of biomarkers for lung cancer, after processing over 9.8 trillion possible biomarkers. Using the various data points identified from the tissue samples and the processing power of WCG, these six markers are now being validated clinically." I would love to read some more about this on a future MCM update. AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Interesting! Thanks for catching that, Falconet.

Pretty crazy to go from 9.8 trillion to six. But if the clinical trials validate any of those six, what a result that would be! A huge achievement if our computing power leads to a simple test to identify high lung cancer risk.
