SAS Senior Shines at 2024 Regeneron ISEF

Tuesday, May 21st, 2024: Congratulations to Syracuse Academy of Science senior Migual Mathis! Migual earned a table to present his research, "Computational Analysis of Apigenin as a Protein-Based Therapeutic Targeting MUCIN-1," at the 2024 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles, California.

Migual was selected from the MOST's CNY Science & Engineering Fair to share his research at the May 11 - May 17 event, the world's largest high school STEM competition. The event included university judges, engineers and scientists, private and federal research center representatives, and post-doctoral fellows. In addition, Migual had the opportunity to present his research to the public and other honorees at the science fair.

ISEF hosted events for participants throughout the week, including a college fair, pin exchange, and opening and closing ceremonies. A highlight of the trip was that Migual was selected to livestream a question to aerospace engineer and NASA astronaut Dr. Janette Epps while she was at the International Space Station.
