8ds agoSix high school students from Long Island are among the finalists in the esteemed Regeneron Science Talent Search, one of the most competitive science competitions in the country.
Among them is Ishana Chadha, a senior at Commack High School, who is being recognized for her groundbreaking research.
Ishana’s project, which explores the intricacies of brain cells, has earned her a place among the final 40 students selected from a pool of talented young researchers from across the United States and 14 other countries.
Her work specifically investigates how brain cells move and develop, with a focus on the role of a particular gene and protein.
The findings could potentially lead to innovative treatments for neurological conditions, including epilepsy.
"I’m just so proud and excited to know that my work is making a difference in the field," Ishana shared in an interview.
As one of the top finalists, Ishana will travel to Washington, D.C. this spring to present her research.
She hopes to pursue a career in neuroscience, and with her impressive achievements so far, it seems she’s well on her way to making a significant impact in the field.
