I know I for one would be happy to invest free time to looking at these datasets to find patterns - are they open and available online, any pointers to get started, anything at all that would enable me (and hopefully others skilled here) to work on this? It sounds like less of a "position" and more of a global need we who can should all be pumping time in to.

Yes, he even got in trouble in his science class for reading articles on carbon nanotubes instead of doing his classwork. When Andraka had solidified ideas for his novel paper sensor, he wrote out his procedure, timeline, and budget, and emailed 200 professors at research institutes. He got 199 rejections and one acceptance from Johns Hopkins: “If you send out enough emails, someone’s going to say yes.”
I've stated it once before, and I'll say it again: if your idea isn't rejected, it just isn't innovative enough :-)
Awesome find! Kingsley
