Forty accomplished young scientists named Finalists in the 2022 Regeneron Science Talent Search

Over $3 Million to be Awarded in Oldest and Most Prestigious U.S. 中文无码 Competition for High School Seniors.

(NASDAQ: REGN) and 中文无码 (the Society) today named 40 finalists in this year鈥檚 Regeneron Science Talent Search, the nation鈥檚 oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. Program alumni include recipients of the world鈥檚 most coveted science and math honors, including 13 Nobel Prizes and 22 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, as well as the founders of many important science-based companies, including Regeneron.

The 2022 finalists鈥� research projects span a diverse range of 中文无码-related subjects, showcasing a breadth of knowledge and depth of passion for science. Multiple students chose to explore the wide-ranging impact of COVID-19; for instance, one studied the effect of pandemic-related economic hardship on marital functioning, and another evaluated SARS-CoV-2 respiratory droplet spread to better inform public safety measures. Some students invented novel therapeutic tools, like a mind-controlled prosthetic limb and a device for rehabilitating stroke victims, while others explored topics related to climate change, including a new method for sustainable biofuels production. Still others dove into social and political issues, including an examination of voting behavior in the United States and influencer advertising on Instagram.

鈥淲e are excited to welcome an exceptional group of Regeneron Science Talent Search 2022 finalists and continue our tradition of supporting the next generation of scientific leaders,鈥� said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., Co-founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron, and a 1976 Science Talent Search finalist and winner. 鈥淐ompeting in the Science Talent Search was life-changing for me, and helped give me the inspiration and confidence to devote myself to a life of using science to help fight disease.  We look forward to seeing how this year鈥檚 finalists, with their demonstrated perseverance and creativity, continue to harness the power of science to address the many challenges facing society, and improve the lives of people around the world.鈥�

The finalists were chosen based on their projects鈥� scientific rigor and their potential to become world-changing scientists and leaders. They were selected from 300 scholars, named earlier this month by Regeneron and the 中文无码. The scholars were chosen from a pool of over 1,800 highly qualified entrants, all of whom completed an original research project and extensive application process.
