Congratulations to HCHS's Regeneron STS Finalist!
We are excited to announce that HCHS senior Dylan L. was named one of 40 national Regeneron Science Talent Search Finalists (formerly Intel/Westinghouse), our nation's most prestigious recognition for high school research students.
Dylan's research on obesity and diabetes found a key difference between two versions of a receptor that regulates fat development. He then designed and synthesized a drug that he demonstrated ablates the harmful effects of the bad form of the receptor while maintaining the levels of the good form of the receptor when given in conjunction with another known diabetes medication, leading to a future drug treatment for obesity and diabetes.

Dylan will be competing in the finals in March for up to $250,000. Please wish Dylan congratulations if you see him.
It is certainly a very exciting moment for him and for our school!
