Tvisha Chandupatla is a talented high school student with a strong passion for science. During her time at CCIR Academy, she conducted research on “The Behavior of Histone Modifications in Gene Expression and Epigenetics.” Her work later earned recognition from the Yale Science and Engineering Association (YSEA).
Tvisha’s Research Achievement
Tvisha received the Most Outstanding Exhibit in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) award at the YSEA Science Fair. This recognition highlights her research into histone modifications, gene expression, and epigenetics.
Her interest in science extends beyond this project. Before joining CCIR, Tvisha participated in several academic competitions. These included the NJ Brain Bee contest at Princeton University and the USA Biology Olympiad.
She also competed in the British Biology Challenge, where she earned a Bronze Award.
Tvisha’s Research and Publications
Tvisha has also explored other areas of biomedical science. She developed two research papers titled “Captivating CAR-T Cancer Treatment” and “Colorectal Cancer.” One of these papers was published in the Youth STEM Journal.
Her work reflects her continued interest in scientific research and its potential applications in medicine.
