<p>Jesuit freshmen<strong> </strong>Lucas Alvarado ’21, Viet Ho ’21, Frankie Machado ’21, and Joey Santana ’21 earned Honorable Mention recognition from among 15,000 submissions to the ExploraVision Science Competition in the Spring of 2018. The team project was titled “ZR Organs: 3D Printing for Life” (ZR stands for zero rejection). It created an internal scaffold out of 3D printed bio-material to grow a heart from the person needing the transplant out of their stem cells. Those stem cells can come from skin cells and are known as induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC). Taking the adult cells and turning them into stem cells, and then using those stem cells in a 3D printing process to grow a perfect replacement organ. The team took two special visits to the University of South Florida to help with their project. The first, at the main campus, involved touring the 3D cell bioprinting facility there, learning about the incredible advancements in this technique for generating human tissue through additive layers of human cells. Then they went to downtown Tampa to visit USF’s state-of-the-art physician training site, the Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS). There, the students explored and learned about the various medical training facilities and engaged with medical students in training. </p><p></p> <p>Jesuit freshmen<strong> </strong>Lucas Alvarado ’21, Viet Ho ’21, Frankie Machado ’21, and Joey Santana ’21 earned Honorable Mention recognition from among 15,000 submissions to the ExploraVision Science Competition in the Spring of 2018.

There, the students explored and learned about the various medical training facilities and engaged with medical students in training. </p><p></p> <p>Jesuit freshmen<strong> </strong>Lucas Alvarado ’21, Viet Ho ’21, Frankie Machado ’21, and Joey Santana ’21 earned Honorable Mention recognition from among 15,000 submissions to the ExploraVision Science Competition in the Spring of 2018. The team project was titled “ZR Organs: 3D Printing for Life” (ZR stands for zero rejection). It created an internal scaffold out of 3D printed bio-material to grow a heart from the person needing the transplant out of their stem cells. Those stem cells can come from skin cells and are known as induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC). Taking the adult cells and turning them into stem cells, and then using those stem cells in a 3D printing process to grow a perfect replacement organ. The team took two special visits to the University of South Florida to help with their project.
