Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.77,0:00:25.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I knew I needed to learn more.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.85,0:00:27.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went online to find answers.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.72,0:00:33.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Using the Internet, I found a variety\Nof statistics on pancreatic cancer,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.48,0:00:35.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what I had found shocked me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.41,0:00:41.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Over 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers\Nare diagnosed late,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.41,0:00:44.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when someone has less\Nthan a two percent chance of survival.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.77,0:00:48.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why are we so bad at detecting\Npancreatic cancer?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.88,0:00:51.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The reason?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.68,0:00:55.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today's current "modern" medicine\Nis a 60-year-old technique.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.56,0:01:07.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But also, it's extremely expensive,\Ncosting 800 dollars per test,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.56,0:01:12.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's grossly inaccurate, missing\N30 percent of all pancreatic cancers.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.52,0:01:17.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your doctor would have to be ridiculously\Nsuspicious that you have the cancer
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.56,0:01:19.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to give you this test.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.96,0:01:22.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Learning this, I knew there\Nhad to be a better way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.71,0:01:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I set up scientific criteria
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.86,0:01:27.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as to what a sensor\Nwould have to look like
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.97,0:01:30.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to effectively\Ndiagnose pancreatic cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.36,0:01:32.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The sensor would have to be:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.95,0:01:37.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inexpensive, rapid, simple, sensitive,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.82,0:01:41.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,selective, and minimally invasive.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.35,0:01:47.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, there's a reason why this test\Nhasn't been updated in over six decades.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.40,0:01:50.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's because when\Nwe're looking for pancreatic cancer,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.38,0:01:52.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're looking at your bloodstream,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.09,0:01:56.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is already abundant in all these\Ntons and tons of protein,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.84,0:02:00.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you're looking for this miniscule\Ndifference in this tiny amount of protein.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.64,0:02:01.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just this one protein.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.14,0:02:03.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's next to impossible.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.04,0:02:07.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, undeterred\Ndue to my teenage optimism --

Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.01,0:02:13.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.60,0:02:18.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went online to a teenager's\Ntwo best friends, Google and Wikipedia.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.86,0:02:21.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got everything for my homework\Nfrom those two sources.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.80,0:02:22.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.08,0:02:25.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I had found was an article
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.65,0:02:29.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that listed a database\Nof over 8,000 different proteins
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.52,0:02:31.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are found when you have\Npancreatic cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.97,0:02:35.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I decided to go\Nand make it my new mission
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.45,0:02:37.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to go through all these proteins,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.20,0:02:40.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and see which ones could serve\Nas a bio-marker for pancreatic cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.09,0:02:43.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And to make it a bit simpler for myself,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.39,0:02:47.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I decided to map out\Nscientific criteria, and here it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.80,0:02:51.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Essentially, first, the protein would have\Nto be found in all pancreatic cancers,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.77,0:02:53.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at high levels in the bloodstream,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.54,0:02:57.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the earliest stages,\Nbut also only in cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.55,0:03:00.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so I'm just plugging and chugging\Nthrough this gargantuan task,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.94,0:03:03.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and finally, on the 4,000th try,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.82,0:03:05.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I'm close to losing my sanity,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.76,0:03:06.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I find the protein.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.41,0:03:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the name of the protein\NI'd located was called mesothelin,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.39,0:03:14.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's just your ordinary,\Nrun-of-the-mill type protein,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.28,0:03:17.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unless, of course, you have\Npancreatic, ovarian or lung cancer,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.57,0:03:20.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in which case it's found at these\Nvery high levels in your bloodstream.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.92,0:03:25.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But also, the key is that it's found\Nin the earliest stages of the disease,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.61,0:03:28.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when someone has close\Nto 100 percent chance of survival.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.14,0:03:32.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now that I'd found\Na reliable protein I could detect,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.49,0:03:35.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then shifted my focus\Nto actually detecting that protein,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.45,0:03:36.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and thus, pancreatic cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.10,0:03:41.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, my breakthrough\Ncame in a very unlikely place,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.10,0:03:44.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,possibly the most unlikely\Nplace for innovation --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.14,0:03:48.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my high school biology class,\Nthe absolute stifler of innovation.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.28,0:03:50.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.84,0:03:53.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.10,0:03:57.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I had snuck in this article\Non these things called carbon nanotubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.81,0:04:00.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's just a long,\Nthin pipe of carbon
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.29,0:04:04.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's an atom thick, and one\N50,000th the diameter of your hair.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.09,0:04:06.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And despite their extremely small sizes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.55,0:04:08.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they have these incredible properties.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.52,0:04:11.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're kind of like the superheroes\Nof material science.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.27,0:04:15.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And while I was sneakily reading this\Narticle under my desk in my biology class,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.34,0:04:19.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were supposed to be paying attention\Nto these other kind of cool molecules,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.12,0:04:20.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called antibodies.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.52,0:04:22.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these are pretty cool\Nbecause they only react
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.83,0:04:24.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with one specific protein,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.39,0:04:27.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they're not nearly\Nas interesting as carbon nanotubes.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.42,0:04:32.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so then, I was sitting in class,\Nand suddenly it hit me:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.85,0:04:36.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I could combine what I was\Nreading about, carbon nanotubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.83,0:04:39.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with what I was supposed to be\Nthinking about, antibodies.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.87,0:04:42.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Essentially, I could weave\Na bunch of these antibodies
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.55,0:04:44.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into a network of carbon nanotubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.79,0:04:48.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,such that you have a network\Nthat only reacts with one protein,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.44,0:04:51.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also, due to the properties\Nof these nanotubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.82,0:04:53.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it will change its electrical properties,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.82,0:04:55.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based on the amount of protein present.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.25,0:04:57.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, there's a catch.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.36,0:05:01.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These networks of carbon\Nnanotubes are extremely flimsy.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.04,0:05:04.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And since they're so delicate,\Nthey need to be supported.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.21,0:05:06.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's why I chose to use paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.53,0:05:10.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Making a cancer sensor\Nout of paper is about as simple
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.52,0:05:12.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as making chocolate chip\Ncookies, which I love.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.96,0:05:15.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughs)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.87,0:05:18.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You start with some water,\Npour in some nanotubes,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.87,0:05:23.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,add antibodies, mix it up,\Ntake some paper, dip it, dry it,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.87,0:05:25.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can detect cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.27,0:05:33.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.73,0:05:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, suddenly, a thought occurred
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.86,0:05:40.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that kind of put a blemish\Non my amazing plan here.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.28,0:05:44.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can't really do cancer research\Non my kitchen countertop.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.52,0:05:49.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So instead, I decided to go for a lab.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.61,0:05:54.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I typed up a budget, a materials list,\Na timeline, and a procedure,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.24,0:05:56.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I emailed it\Nto 200 different professors

Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.49,0:06:06.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I sat back waiting for these\Npositive emails to be pouring in,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.65,0:06:17.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then reality took hold,\Nand over the course of a month,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.90,0:06:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he went through and said\Nwhy each and every step
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.51,0:06:33.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was like the worst mistake\NI could ever make.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.65,0:07:27.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How unlikely is that? I mean, pshhh.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.96,0:07:31.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.42,0:07:35.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, subjecting myself\Nto that interrogation --
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.38,0:07:38.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I answered all their questions,\Nand I guessed on quite a few
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.35,0:07:39.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I got them right --
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.62,0:07:43.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I finally landed\Nthe lab space I needed.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.82,0:07:47.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it was shortly afterwards that\NI discovered my once brilliant procedure
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.64,0:07:49.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had something like a million holes in it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.79,0:07:51.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and over the course of seven months,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.57,0:07:54.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I painstakingly filled\Neach and every one of those holes.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.53,0:07:55.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The result?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:55.78,0:08:00.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One small paper sensor that costs\Nthree cents and takes five minutes to run.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.98,0:08:04.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This makes it 168 times faster,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.43,0:08:07.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over 26,000 times less expensive,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:07.25,0:08:10.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and over 400 times more sensitive\Nthan our current standard
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.80,0:08:12.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for pancreatic cancer detection.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.74,0:08:20.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.74,0:08:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the best parts\Nof the sensor, though,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.08,0:08:27.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that it has close\Nto 100 percent accuracy,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.60,0:08:30.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and can detect the cancer\Nin the earliest stages,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.31,0:08:32.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when someone has close\Nto 100 percent chance of survival.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.50,0:08:35.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so in the next two to five years,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.47,0:08:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this sensor could potentially lift\Nthe pancreatic cancer survival rates
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.83,0:08:42.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from a dismal 5.5 percent\Nto close to 100 percent,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.95,0:08:45.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it would do similar\Nfor ovarian and lung cancer.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:46.09,0:08:47.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it wouldn't stop there.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.24,0:08:49.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By switching out that antibody,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.92,0:08:53.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can look at a different protein,\Nthus, a different disease --
Dialogue: 0,0:08:53.45,0:08:56.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,potentially any disease\Nin the entire world.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.87,0:09:01.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that ranges from heart disease,\Nto malaria, HIV, AIDS,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:01.52,0:09:03.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well as other forms\Nof cancer -- anything.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:04.46,0:09:06.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, hopefully one day,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.43,0:09:08.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can all have that one extra uncle,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.87,0:09:12.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that one mother, that one brother, sister,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.13,0:09:14.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can have that one more\Nfamily member to love.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.02,0:09:19.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that our hearts will be rid\Nof that one disease burden

Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.76,0:09:24.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and potentially any disease.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.86,0:09:27.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But through the Internet,\Nanything is possible.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:27.68,0:09:28.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Theories can be shared,

Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.59,0:09:40.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just your ideas that count.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:41.11,0:09:45.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, it's all about looking\Nat the Internet in an entirely new way,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:45.84,0:09:47.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to realize that there's so much more to it
