During the 2024 International Science and Engineering Fair in Los Angeles, two Arlington Public Schools students received awards for their projects. Olivia Bartrum, a senior at Wakefield High School, competed in the Cellular and Molecular Biology category with her project “Harnessing the Signalosome to Enhance Ex-Vivo Generation of Tumor Antigen-Specific T Cells” and received second place.
On the other hand, Anna Mohanty, a junior at Washington-Liberty High School, participated in the Translational Medical Science category with her project “Alcott: A Convolutional Neural Network to Predict Multimeric Interactions in HIV-1 Neural Infection” and received third place. Additionally, Mohanty’s project also earned third place in a separate competition sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.
Both students demonstrated their talents and hard work through their innovative projects at this prestigious fair. Their success is a testament to their dedication to science and research, as well as the quality of education they receive at Arlington Public Schools. Congratulations to Olivia Bartrum and Anna Mohanty for their impressive achievements!
