Eden Ng is a student at Piedmont Hills High School in the United States. She has a strong interest in biomedical science, neuroscience, and medical research. Through academic programmes and extracurricular activities, she continues to develop her scientific knowledge and research skills.
Eden participated in the UCI X GATI Summer Research Program. During the programme, she published a research paper in the UCI X GATI Science Journal. She also compiled more than 20 articles covering topics such as neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience, genetics and development, and socioscientific issues.
This work culminated in her research paper titled “Could Epigenetic Treatment Provide Reparation to Depression from Racial Disparities?” Through this project, Eden explored the relationship between epigenetics, depression, and racial disparities.
In addition, Eden analysed studies from medical research databases such as PubMed. She also presented her research on “The Heart-Brain Connection: En-Vivo” at an auditorium. These experiences allowed her to explore different areas of medical science and communicate scientific findings to an audience.
Beyond her academic activities, Eden serves as a Coordinator Officer in her school’s Red Cross Club. In this role, she hosted two blood drives that attracted more than 90 donors. Furthermore, she organised over 15 volunteer events to encourage student participation in community service.
At CCIR Academy, Eden conducted a research project titled “Immunotherapy for Cancer: Creating Ideal Conditions for T-cell Differentiation.” Her study investigates how different conditions can influence T-cell differentiation and improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.
Specifically, the research explores the factors and environments that support T-cell development and function. By identifying favourable conditions, Eden aims to understand how T-cells can become more effective at recognising and eliminating cancer cells.
Furthermore, her research highlights the importance of T-cell differentiation in developing cancer immunotherapies. Understanding these processes may contribute to further investigations into immune-based approaches to cancer treatment.
Eden’s research achievement reflects her dedication to biomedical science and academic inquiry. She also expressed appreciation for the guidance and support provided by her professor and CCIR Academy throughout her research journey.
