August 21, 2017

Jack Andraka is helping to change the world of cancer diagnosis and treatment. At thirteen he began developing an early detection test for pancreatic cancer. Now, at twenty, he is using nano robots and CRISPR to help with cancer treatment. Jack has also designed a postage stamp sized test that can detect up to twenty contaminants in water. He is exploring its use in the developing world.
