    Isaac Yonemoto is a chemist who has been writing software code his whole life. Now, he is launching a campaign to produce the first open source treatment for cancer, using a compound called 9-DS, the result of Soviet research and the more recent work of Barbara Gerratana at the University of Maryland. Yonemoto is currently running a crowd-funding campaign to fund the testing of 9-DS on mice and his vision involves the convergence of chemical research with computer science centered around open source technologies and ideologies.
