High School Student Researcher Anushka on Detection and Treatment Response of Melanoma Cancer Patients

Anushka Pakhare is a student at Juanita High School in the USA. She has a strong passion for science and has earned several academic achievements.

At the Science Olympiad WA State, Anushka was part of the first-place team. She also competed in the National Science Olympiad. There, she secured third place in the Meteorology event and fifth place in the Flight event.

Anushka’s Research on Melanoma Detection

At CCIR Academy, Anushka conducted a research project titled “A Systematic Review of Emerging Liquid Biopsy Techniques for Detection and Treatment Response of Melanoma Cancer Patients.”

Her research examines emerging liquid biopsy techniques for detecting melanoma and monitoring treatment responses. In particular, she explores three approaches: circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) analysis, circulating tumour cell (CTC) detection, and exosome profiling.

The study reviews current evidence on these techniques. It assesses their potential diagnostic and prognostic value in melanoma care. Furthermore, the research explores how these methods could inform more personalised treatment strategies for patients.

Anushka’s achievement at CCIR Academy reflects her dedication to scientific research. She also recognises the valuable guidance of her professor and the support of CCIR Academy.

Congratulations to Anushka on her achievement!
