Janelle Tam, BioGENEius
How will you change the world? asked Canada’s Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge.
Janelle Tam provided the winning answer in the form of NCC (nano-crystalline cellulose) – an antioxidant with disease-fighting and anti-aging capabilities that is similar but superior to Vitamins C and E.
The 16-year-old Ontarian, who discovered the potential of the tiny particles found in tree pulp, says she “envision[s] it more as an ingredient that would be added to existing formulations…to tablets or bandaids for wound dressing or [cosmetic cream].”
Sounds to me like vision is the operative word there, and Janelle sure has it! :)
Think you have the next winning discovery?
