Lucas S.S.<\/h3>\r\n\r\nI used different types of ultrasounds modalities to view the blood perfusion surrounding a Cell Pouch(TM). The Cell Pouch(TM) is a product that has been developed by Sernova Corp. to help with the treatment and management of diabetes. It is placed at a site where insulin producing cells will be transplanted. I found that ultrasounds work to track angiogenesis in the tissue surrounding the implant.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n<h3>Biography<\/h3>I am currently a grade 10 student at A.B. Lucas Secondary School. Apart from participating in the science fair and Sanofi BioGENEious Challenge Canada, I play rugby and hockey at school. Outside of school I played Midget AA hockey, and Midget\/ Int. box lacrosse. I am enrolled in the gifted program at school. I have always had an interest in science, especially medicine. My project involves combining the use of medical technology and ultrasound technology. I got to work with a private corporation called Sernova. They are developing Cell Pouch(TM) technology in the treatment and management of Diabetes. For my project I got to use ultrasounds to view blood vessels surrounding the implant in a model. I think participating in the science fair is a great experience. There are many opportunities to learn new things and meet new people.\r\n\r\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7729","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.2.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/tvsef.ca\/?page_id=7729\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO Pro (AIOSEO) 5.0.2.1\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Youth Science London\/Thames Valley Science &amp; Engineering Fair - Grade 4-12 Science Engineering Fair.
