CONGRATULATIONS TO GARIMA YADAV!
Garima is a semifinalist in the Intel STS competition which is regarded by many as the most prestigious and competitive science research competition in the country. She was one of 300 semifinalists selected nationwide and won $1000 for herself and a matching $1000 for the school.
Her project sought to create a new drug to treat drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis. She synthesized a library of 13 new chemicals and tested them on a related strain of bacteria. One of the new compounds showed promise as a potential new treatment. This work was performed at SUNY Stony Brook in Dr. Ojima's Lab.
