A TdMnM patch to treat Erythrodermic Psoriasis, a method of using electric stimulation to increase Mycelia-Plant Mutualism, a treatment for Open Angle Glaucoma: no, these are not the ideas of professional bioengineers—they are the projects of 15 PHS students who participated in the annual Bioengineering High School Competition, also known as the BioEHSC competition.
According to the article “PHS students place third in UC Berkeley bioengineering competition”, on Saturday, April 6, three teams of PHS students competed in the BioEHSC, an annual high school bioengineering competition run by the UC Berkeley Bioengineering Honor Society. PHS competed against 50 national and Californian teams.
According to the article “PHS students place third in UC Berkeley bioengineering competition”, the BioEHSC is both a research and design competition in which a group of students define a biological or biomedical problem, complete research and then propose a novel engineering solution to the problem. From there on, each team would be matched with a UC Berkeley Bioengineering mentor. …
