Grade 12 researcher wins top honours in Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada finals at National Research Council, Ottawa
OTTAWA, May 8 — An Ontario student, 16, who invented a disease-fighting, anti-aging compound using nano-particles from trees, won top national honours today in the 2012 Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada (SBCC).
Her super anti-oxidant compound acts like a “nano-vaccuum” and could one day help improve health and anti-aging products by better neutralizing harmful free-radicals in the body. Her research is detailed online at bit.ly/Jw8mrq.
Janelle Tam, a Grade 12 student at Waterloo Collegiate Institute, was awarded the $5,000 first prize by an impressed panel of eminent Canadian scientists assembled at the Ottawa headquarters of the National Research Council of Canada.
Thirteen brilliant students, all just 16 to 18 years old, took part in the national finals. They were top prize winners of nine regional SBCC competitions conducted nationwide in March and April, events that showcased youthful Canadian talent in the fast-growing field of biotech science.
The theme of the competition, “How will you change the world?” inspired hundreds of students to participate in 2012 SBCC events Canada-wide.
2nd place ($4,000) was awarded to Rui Song, 16, a Grade 11 student from Walter Murray Collegiate, Saskatoon, for developing new insights into the potential creation of a more nutritious lentil. Project profile: bit.ly/IrvD9I
3rd place ($3,000) went to Alexander Tigert and Zelun (Daniel) Zhang, both 17, Grade 12, Northern Secondary School, who used genetically-modified Baker’s yeast to create a novel environment for testing the effects of drug treatments for depression and anxiety. Project profile: bit.ly/IjfNoa
4th place ($2,000) went to Ella Thomson, 16, Grade 11, Balmoral Hall School, Winnipeg, who genetically modified a common soil bacteria to produce 36% more volume of the bio-ingredient used to make eco-friendly plastic. Project profile: bit.ly/IAd0Vn
5th place ($1,000) was awarded to Romina Hassanzadeh, 17, Grade 12, All Saints Catholic High School, Kanata, who puzzled out a new insight into the workings of a cancer-fighting drug, a discovery that could one day impact medical approaches to cancer treatment. Project profile: bit.ly/ICpjzR

Jason was originally ranked only 89th out of 156 in his age group. He had no international rating since he had only been playing chess for 2 years. He had only a modest Canadian “ C-class “ CFC rating. He has no formal chess coach. But he did train 4-5 hrs. every day for the 3 weeks before departing and he is an enthusiastic player. So he was definitely one of the big surprises of the tournament when he came out on top !
