Microsoft claims: 10 years from now, humanity is released from cancer

Cancer, the dreaded problem of the 21st century, is making scientists have a headache to find ways to deal with that has almost no progress.

Recently, however, a strange statement has emerged: within 10 years, humans can be released from cancer. And more strangely, that statement comes from . Microsoft - the world's computer and technology giant.

Microsoft claims?Listen wrong .

This statement comes from its new project. Accordingly, a laboratory is studying how to fight cancer, based on the idea that cancer cells are like computer viruses. They think it could somehow "reprogram" cancer cells, hoping to do so within a decade.

"Biology and computers look like . chalkboards and cheese, which is unrelated," says Chris Bishop, director of Microsoft Research . It is very similar to what happens inside a computer ".

Cancer cells will look like computer viruses.

Specifically, Microsoft's laboratory is based in Cambridge - one of the world's leading universities. They own 150 scientists and software experts working on "bio-computing" projects. Among them are the world's leading biologists, programmers, engineers, and they are studying how to fight cancer from the viruses in the computer.

Some argue that this may put the company in crisis, but Bishop doesn't think so. He said: "I think this is completely natural, because we are experts in the field of computer science, and cancer is also a matter of computing."

" Collaboration between biologists and computer experts is the key to solving cancer," said Jeannette Wing, deputy director of Microsoft .

Collaboration between biologists and computer experts is the key to solving cancer.

According to Andrew Philips, the lead researcher: "In the short term, we want to support pharmaceutical companies to develop some drugs. In the long run - perhaps another 5-10 years is enough to deliver. smart molecular system has the ability to automatically search for disease-causing cells ".

Currently, the Microsoft programming team has successfully developed software that simulates the nature of a healthy cell. In the next step, they wanted to write down lines of code that allowed comparison with pathogenic cells, in order to find solutions and treatments.

According to Dr. Jasmin Fisher, Cambridge associate professor: "If we can control and refine cancer, then the disease is like any other common disease, and of course the problem has been solved." .
