Any "IBM Watson" Brain Cancer Patients at the NY Genome Center Interested In #TheWalkingGallery Project?

"IBM's Watson Attempts To Tackle The Genetics Of Brain Cancer: IBM and the New York Genome Center announced a partnership to test whether Watson, the computer that won on Jeopardy, can sift through the genomes of cancer patients and help doctors pick drugs. This effort could hold the key to making DNA sequencing for cancer affordable, but there is a vast amount of work to do that will take years at a minimum.
The effort is starting small, looking at 25 patients with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare brain cancer that is almost always fatal. Without treatment median survival is only a few months; surgery, drugs, and radiation extend that to about a year." (Source).
