Jack Andraka

Jane Andraka has two remarkable sons, but Jack, 18, has done something pretty incredible for a high school senior – he’s developed a revolutionary early cancer detection technique. The 4-cent strip of paper that Jack developed is 400x more sensitive to pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer than the current standard.

Jack’s invention was rejected over 200 times by different members of the scientific community, until he won first prize at the prestigious Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. CLICK FOR MORE
