Summary
ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rebecca Ye of Bangor, Maine was named the U.S. winner of the 2010 Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP) - the most prestigious international competition for water-related research - during a ceremony this weekend at the Sheraton City Center in St. Louis, Mo.
The student's work, "Nanoparticle-amplified immunosensor enables excellent sensitivity in rapid detection of viable E. coli O157:H7", combines the sciences of microbiology and nanotechnology to create a biosensor capable of rapid identification strains of pathogenic bacteria E. Coli. The proposed technique represents a major advance in providing rapid and specific identification of the pathogenic bacteria so that corrective measures can be quickly and reliably implemented. Ye's project was selected from more than 40 state SJWP winners at the national competition held in St. Louis from June 17- 20.See the full content of this document
