Cancer symphony

Posted on 22:02, under , ,

Long time without posting, several things happening including another Nobel prize for a physicist who went through applied physics to biology like Watson and Crick long time ago. But I will leave this talk to other opportunity, ribosomes are very interesting and complex as well.
Cancer is one career where many biologists, physicians, computer scientists and, of course, physicists have a lot of work to do. From time to time we see some innovations in such field and this one came from Havard Medical School. Dr. Gil Alterovitz created a way to associate gene expression to musical notes patterns. The notes have been chosen carefully in a way that it sounds harmonic and pleasant when everything is OK nad  weird when something is wrong. This has been applied to colon cancer study and hopefully it will work with other cancers too. Listen to the comparison between both 'symphonies' below.
