Senior Gokul Kannan was named Regeneron STS 2017 Semi Finalist!

For his research “Triggering the brain to heal itself after Traumatic Brain Injury:  Where Glia, Anesthesia and Nanomedicine Meet” as part of his work in the Gifted and Talented Research Program at River Hill High School.

The Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS-formerly Intel Science Talent Search) is the nation's most prestigious pre-college science competition. Alumni of STS have made extraordinary contributions to science and hold more than 100 of the world's most coveted science and math honors, including the Nobel Prize and National Medal of Science. Annually, students entering the Regeneron STS compete for more than $3.1 million in awards. Only 300 students are announced as scholars each year. From this select pool, 40 finalists are then invited to Washington, D.C. in March to participate in final judging, display their work to the public, meet with notable scientists, and compete for the top award of $250,000.
