As researchers continue to unravel the many mysteries of genomics, they require more and more sophisticated technologies to diagnose, monitor and treat genetic conditions. Artificial intelligence tools, which mimic human intelligence to solve problems, are well-suited to tackle these complex tasks. Machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, has the unique ability to learn and
Taylor used vegetable juice to dye sutures, which could theoretically be used to detect infections.
The
Smithsonian Magazine reported on Taylor’s prototype sutures, which she began working on in October 2o19. The idea was developed after her chemistry teacher shared information about state-wide science fairs with the class. Soon after, Taylor earned awards at regional science fairs.
In January 2021, the
Regeneron Talent Search, a prestigious, national, research-based competition for high schoolers, named Taylor’s project as one of its 40 finalists. Taylor’s entry didn’t take home the grand prize of $250,000. However, it was named the Seaborg Award winning entry. Also, it seems Taylor will still get $25,000 from her entry.
