Alzheimer’s disease (AD) causes the gradual loss of neurons, which leads to memory and cognitive problems. Due to the inability to replace the lost neurons, current treatments cannot stop or…
ISEF · 2026
Translational Medical Science
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) often rupture before detection, causing hemorrhagic stroke that is fatal in 50% of cases. Expensive ($800 - $8400) hospital-based diagnostic tests are conducted…
ISEF · 2026
Robotics and Intelligent Machines
Online platforms such as social media and video games are designed to stimulate reward mechanisms in the brain, which can lead to excessive use and reduced attention control. This project in…
CSEF · 2026
Medicine & Physiology (Track 2) (Senior Division) First Award
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects 1 in 9 Americans over age 65, yet 98% of clinical trials fail, reflecting a mismatch between cellular heterogeneity and coarse-grained patient-level single-t…
ISEF · 2026
