2010 Winners

Congratulations to the winners of our 2010 “Biomedical Breakthroughs and My Life” essay contest! Over 320 entries were received from 7th and 8th grade students in Washington.

Each essay was a personal story of how biomedical research has contributed to treatments for medical conditions affecting students or family members. Our thanks to the 91 researchers who volunteered to be judges. The quality of the essays made the selection process difficult.

The winning students, their parents/guardians, and their teachers were honored at an Awards Day on May 14th hosted by University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences. It was an opportunity to meet scientists, tour labs and participate in hands-on activities.

We wish to thank our sponsors of this program, Lab Products, Inc., Zeeks Pizza and Print Management.
