Advisor


Thank you to our school advisor, Juli Cheskaty, for their support along the way.

Mentor


Ejaj Intisar has helped us tremendously over the past few weeks in developing our project and teaching us about synthetic

biology. This project would not be possible without his guidance.

Expert Consultations


Dr. Meng Yuan

Dr. Yuan studies structural biology, protein science, and molecular virology at Scripps Research Translational Institute. He helped us with modeling, specifically with PyMol and molecular docking.


Dr. Mark Pellett

Dr. Pellett, Senior Director and Group Manager, Regulatory CMC at AstraZeneca, helped us go through our project ideas and discussed each with his pharmaceutical perspective and prior research on oxybenzone.


Dr. Arielle Levine

Dr. Levine works in the Department of Geography at San Diego State University. She has been tremedously helpful in helping us understand the current awareness of the community regarding oxybenzone and its harms.


Dr. Lorraine Ling

Dr. Ling, a scientist at SyntheX, Inc., helped us understand the toxic effects of oxybenzone in coral reefs. She also helped to evaluate the novelty of our idea and its possible applications.
