Bob the Super Hamste writes "According to a story at LiveScience, a
16-year-old Canadian 11th grade student has [0]discovered a possible
treatment for cystic fibrosis. The treatment is a combination of two
drugs which, in a computer simulation on the Canadian SCINET
supercomputing network, did not interfere with each other while
interacting with the defective protein responsible for the disorder. He
has also tested the drug combination on living cells with results that
'exceeded his expectations.'"
