The quantum mechanics-based technique allowed Orly Alter and her team to take in approximately 6 million tumor and blood DNA and tumor RNA features from only 71 neuroblastoma patient samples, and derive, test, and interpret new predictors of patients’ life expectancy in response to treatment. The new predictors consistently outperformed standard biomarkers and are applicable to the general population.
