GitLab co-founder used ChatGPT to beat cancer

Sid Sijbrandij faced a rare osteosarcoma: standard medicine had exhausted all options. Instead of giving up, he assembled a team of oncologists, researchers — and brought in ChatGPT.

The AI analyzed DNA, RNA, scans, and biopsies, helping to identify unique targets for therapies and personalized drug combinations.

Today, Sijbrandij is healthy, and his story is an example of how technology and engineering thinking can expand the possibilities of medicine.
