PopVax published the popvax/yash repo: a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine designed for 32-year-old Yashdeep Bindal, diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer in January 2025. The RNA Foundry team is sharing his tumor sequencing data and the full vaccine design—configs, data, workflow, provenance—inviting scientists worldwide to review and submit pull requests. The pipeline was built by @jajoosam. A landmark case of open-sourcing personalized medicine.
