OSSM students presented research on ovarian, pancreatic, and liver cancers, as well as studies examining the safety of hydrogels in the eye, among others. Through its mentorship program, OSSM is the only high school represented at the symposium, giving students a unique opportunity to contribute alongside university-level researchers.
