Sachem High School North senior Avi Talsania presented the results of two science research investigations at the 2023 Materials Research Society Fall Conference. Talsania’s work was conducted through the Garcia Program at Stony Brook University this past summer under the mentorship of Adam Hansen and Dr. Miriam Rafailovich. Both projects were presented at the conference.

His first investigation, “The Influence of Donor Age on Cholesterol Inhibition on Fibroblast Mechanical Properties and Susceptibility to Bacterial Infection” was selected for an onsite poster presentation. The second investigation, “Vitality of a Novel Peptide P12 as an Antithrombotic Agent” was selected for an onsite oral presentation.

The Materials Research Society Fall Conference showcases leading interdisciplinary research presented by scientists from around the globe. It’s the world’s leading scientific gathering for materials research.
