Adree Khondker, currently a grade 12 student at Westdale Secondary School, won one of the top prizes at the Bay Area Science and Engineering Fair with a project that he conducted in a Department of Physics and Astronomy lab.
Dr. Mailkel Rheinstadter and PhD candidate Richard Alsop, both of the department, helped Adree select his specific project on how man-made cell membranes change in the presence of the anti-inflammatory drug cortisone using a technique called X-ray diffraction.
Congratulations to Adree, Rick, and Maikel.
