Gamgee on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: ​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 Gamgee is building an end to end platform for personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Gamgee is developing personalised mRNA vaccines as a cancer treatment for dogs, built from each dog’s tumour. See how it works with vets and register your interest." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Paul Conyngham, Founder/CEO: Founder at Gamgee Technologies (YC S26), building personalised mRNA cancer vaccines. Gamgee grew out of my work using AI and genomics to help my dog Rosie fight cancer. Previously co-founded Core Intelligence, building applied AI systems across startups and enterprise, and helped grow Australia’s AI community through DSAI. Background in ML, data science and electrical and computer systems engineering (source)
