BIOCHEMISTRY

Projects that are specifically designed to address issues of human health and disease, such as studies on the normal functions of health as well as the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or epidemiology of disease and other damage to the human body or mental systems. The subcategories provide additional guidance and definition as well as a level of specificity to match judges’ expertise with student projects. WINNING PROJECTS A Novel, Noninvasive Approach to Melanoma Diagnosis Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Bioconjugated Gold Nanoparticles Shriya Reddy, Michigan, United States Development of a Microscope for Fully Automated Real- Time Cancer Cell Tracking Nicole Segaran and Yannik Singh, Indiana, United States Accuracy of a Novel Method to Measure In-Stent Restenosis BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES

Projects involving the study of the chemical basis of processes occurring in living organisms, including the processes by which these substances enter into, or are formed in, the organisms and react with each other and the environment. The subcategories provide additional guidance and definition as well as a level of specificity to match judges’ expertise with student projects.
