Many years ago, I worked in a lab where I synthesized a variant of Interferon using solid phase peptide synthesis. It was all manual work, using pretty basic materials. It's just a peptide after all.

I finished at 11 PM. Cleaned it up, walked across the street to probably one of the world's most respected Cancer Hospitals. Gave it to the MD on staff, he said we'll try it now. Right now.

A lot of things go on when people are at life and death cross roads. Lots of things out of the mainstream. When all hope is gone, sometimes miracles can happen.



Did you hear back from him? How'd it work?
