Magnet Senior Reesab Pathak was named yesterday as a finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search 2015. Mr. Pathak conducted an internship over the last year and a half at OHSU where he worked on a research team to better understand HIV. His work there, including a recent co-author credit in a study published in the December 2014 Journal of Immunology: Universal, MHC-E restricted killer T cell responses: Identification of a novel immune response against HIV , was the basis for his selection as a finalist. Congratulations, Reese!
For a closer description of the trip he will take to Washington D.C., in March, which includes a meeting with President Obama at The White House, see information below from the Intel STS Website & Press Release:
“On January 21, 40 high school seniors were named finalists in the Intel Science Talent Search 2015, a program of Society for Science & the Public.
