Spotlight: The Groundbreaking Project of the 2023-2024 Cohort
Celebrating Innovation
Congratulations to Ilia Ghatei, Adrian Pham, and Mrs. Montague for being recognized at the 2024 Los Angeles County Science Fair for their project "A Novel Multi-Step AI Software: Enhancing the Diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma via Serum Protein Electrophoresis and Immunofixation Analysis".
The team developed a game-changing tool for global clinical environments tackling multiple myeloma - the second most common blood cancer in the US. With their innovative multi-part software, they achieved a diagnosis in at least 5 seconds with an impressive accuracy rate of over 96%!
In collaboration with a leading hospital in Massachusetts, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, both Adrian and Ilia were proud to present a revolutionary software-assisted approach to enhance multiple myeloma diagnosis. Their projections were staggering: their projections showed that the software could save over $8 million annually, along with 2000+ hours, and correctly diagnose more than 4700 cases compared to traditional lab methods.
Fun Fact: In an event where most participants were Juniors and Seniors, Adrian and Ilia were the only Freshmen participants at the event! 😲
Join us in congratulating Ilia Ghatei, Adrian Pham, and Mrs. Montague on their incredible work! 🎉
