17-Year-Old Wins $100K For Creating Cancer Killing Nanoparticle

An anonymous reader writes "17-year-old Angeloa Zhang was recently awarded the $100,000 Grand Prize in the Individual category of the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. Her project was entitled 'Design of Image-guided, Photo-thermal Controlled Drug Releasing Multifunctional Nanosystem for the Treatment of Cancer Stem Cells.' The creation is the so-called 'Swiss army knife of cancer treatment,' which allows a nanoparticle to be delivered to a tumor where it proceeds to kills cancer stem cells."

Sure when they can patent your "cure" and turn you into a monopoly while undergoing lots of life long treatments.
Few $100K to get a basic work up, then their factory in China produces your nanomeds.
If they find you went shopping in Asia first and still have traces of infringing medical treatments, its lawyer time.
