Gamgee

About

Gamgee is building an end to end platform for personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs. We sequence a dog’s tumour and healthy DNA, identify mutations unique to its cancer, and design a vaccine that teaches the immune system what to attack. We manage the entire process- from vet intake and tissue collection through genomic analysis, vaccine production, treatment and response monitoring ​Gamgee began with Rosie, founder Paul Conyngham’s dog. After surgery, chemotherapy and immunotherapy failed, Rosie was given months to live. Paul used AI and genomic analysis to identify targets in her tumour, then worked with scientists at UNSW to produce what is believed to be the first fully computationally designed mRNA cancer vaccine delivered to a dog. Following treatment, several tumours shrank significantly and her quality of life improved ​We are now turning that one off effort into a repeatable clinical system. Gamgee is running clinical trials in Australia, working with vets, oncologists and specialised laboratories, and accepting cases globally. Our goal is to make personalised cancer treatment accessible to every dog that needs it- and use each case to improve the treatment for the next
