GHS sophomore Mahi Chanpura achieved the rare and prestigious honor of having her scientific manuscript published in the American Journal of Student Research. Mahi’s research centered on the pathological subtypes and contemporary therapeutic strategies of thyroid cancer.
In addition to her work being published, she presented her research study ‘A Comparison of Therapeutic Strategies for Thyroid Cancer’ live at Polygence’s 13th Symposium of Rising Scholars back in September.
This all stemmed from an enrichment course that Mahi enrolled in prior to her eighth grade year that featured a module exploring thyroid cancer and its treatments. An aspiring oncologist, Mahi dove further into research into the mechanisms by which thyroid cancer operates to help her understand treatment strategies that became her scientific manuscript that was published.
