Olivia Hallisey

Grand Prize Winner, 2015 Google Science Fair

Olivia Hallisey developed a novel diagnostic Ebola test, the “Ebola Assay Card” (EAC). She determined early diagnosis was critical to arresting the epidemic’s exponential growth. The EAC is inexpensive, rapid, and visual, indicating results through a color change, eliminating language barriers, and increasing ease of use. Most recently, she has developed the “Lyme Assay Card” (LAC) for saliva-based early diagnosis of Lyme disease. She is continuing research on this assay as a broad disease diagnostic with applicability for other ELISA assay-based diseases.

She is currently studying at Stanford University.

Jack Andraka

Grand Prize Winner, 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
Breakthrough Inventor, Scientist, and Cancer Researcher

When Jack was 15-years-old he created a new diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer that is 28 times faster, 26,000 times less expensive and over 100 times more sensitive than the current diagnostic tests. And, in case that’s not impressive enough, the test also works for ovarian and lung cancer.

His diagnostic test earned him first prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest pre-college science research competition.

Jack is currently studying at Stanford University.

Virginia Man-Yee Lee, Ph.D.

Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, 2020
The Times 'Science Power List’, 2020

Virginia Man-Yee Lee, Ph.D. was awarded the 2020 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for her research on Alzheimer's disease. She is the John H. Ware 3rd Professor in Alzheimer's Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and Director of the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research and Co-director of the Marian S. Ware Alzheimer Drug Discovery Program.

Dr. Lee’s research focuses on disease proteins that form pathological inclusions in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, and related neurodegenerative disorders of aging. Her work demonstrated that tau, alpha-synuclein, and TDP-43 proteins form unique brain aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases and provided critical evidence that aggregation of brain proteins is a common mechanistic theme in diverse neurodegenerative diseases. Most importantly, this research has opened up new avenues of research to identify targets for drug discovery to develop better treatments for these disorders. Dr. Lee is listed among the 10 most highly cited neuroscientists by Alzheimer’s Disease researchers.
