GCHS junior advances to Intl. Science and Engineering Fair

Garden City High School junior and science research student Julia Cherchever has advanced to the International Science and Engineering Fair with the 2023 New York State Science and Engineering Fair finalists.

Julia’s project, “A Model for Reversal of Doxorubicin Induced Cardiotoxicity via Fisetin,” investigated a novel therapy that could prevent heart cell death in chemotherapy patients. Her project was conducted in Garden City High School’s new project-based learning space, the research center, using a fluorescent microscope donated by Garden City Friends of STEM.

Garden City High School junior and science research student Julia Cherchever proudly displayed her awards from NYSSEF. She will advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair in May.

The 2023 NYSSEF was a hybrid competition with the first round consisting of a video entry. Julia was then selected for round two’s in-person competition on March 27 at the New York Hall of Science in Queens where she competed against nearly 180 fellow round two invitees from Long Island,

Westchester and New York City. Only the top 15 projects were chosen to become ISEF finalists, including Julia’s. She was also selected as “Best in Fair” out of over 300 students who entered.

Additionally, Julia was awarded the Regeneron Biomedical Science Award. This is an award for exceptional students whose projects demonstrated the “ Regeneron Way, ” described as ”Lead with Science, Take on Big Ideas, Make it Happen, Be Great Together and Do What’s Right.”

Julia was also awarded the United States Air Force Award for outstanding projects in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Life Science and/or Physical Science.

The district congratulates Julia and wishes her continued success as she advances to the 2023 International Science & Engineering Fair to be held in Dallas, Texas, starting on May 14.
