520 _a"Seven years ago, Hongyue Dai discovered an atomic particle light years away, and someone asked how it may be useful. 'I had no answer,' he said. Dai loved the pure scientific quest for knowledge, but he also wanted to make a practical difference in people's lives, which he couldn't do in astrophysics. So he switched to industrial pursuits and became a key player on a team at Rosetta Inpharmatics that looked at the 3 billion-letter puzzle of DNA and found this: how to predict whether patients with breast cancer have the kind of genetic makeup that causes cancer to either spread or remain localized." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article describes the work of a scientist whose research on breast cancer makes it possible to use DNA to determine whether the cancer will spread or remain localized.
