The idea
Our team developed a concept for an injectable Janus hydrogel patch to support repair after a heart attack.
My contribution
I researched tissue adhesion, drug release, and market strategy. I also used AI to support market predictions for our pitch.
The outcome
Our team won gold at Diamond Challenge Canada in 2026 for our research and design concept.
Why it matters to me
The project brought together my interests in biology, chemistry, and technology. Working on both the scientific idea and the pitch helped me think about how to communicate a concept clearly.
