BioMed4Youth Research Case Competition Abstract Book 2025

The BioMed4Youth Research Case Competition, organized by the nonprofit organization BioMed4Youth, under the leadership of presidents Ahyan Alam and Jiya Prajapati, provides university and high school students with the opportunity to conduct research and develop literature reviews. Guided by university student mentors with prior research experience, participants are introduced to the fundamentals of literature review, scientific analysis, and academic writing, while receiving personalized mentorship that fosters both professional and personal growth. The 2025 program brought together students from across the world with diverse academic interests, allowing them to pursue projects in biomedicine. Over the course of the case competition, participants translated their work into research papers, which are presented in this abstract book as a reflection of their dedication and intellectual curiosity. At the conclusion of the competition, students were judged on their projects by professionals, who provided feedback on the participants’ work. By creating accessible and supportive pathways into research, BioMed4Youth aims to bridge the gap between youth and scientific engagement, inspiring the next generation of researchers, healthcare providers, and innovators. Moving forward, the Research Case Competition will continue to grow and adapt, incorporating feedback from participants and mentors to strengthen its impact.
