Student, Innovator, Food System Disruptor

Congratulations to young Rania Hashim for being an eminent speaker for the Youth STEM Matters Research Conference. In her talk, she elaborated on the broken food system, suggesting a technological solution. She also spoke about her personal projects.

A grade 10 student, Rania has been diving deeper into alternative protein, including animal-free dairy (+ meat) using cellular agriculture and precision fermentation. She is passionate about biotechnology and her work has included simulating the production of whey and casein using precision fermentation, researching and framing a recommendation as part of a TKS challenge for the United Nations, ideating CloudLEN (AR-based contacts that erase the line between the real and virtual world) and GUT (custom Recommendations for Your GUT Microbiome), and researching cellular agriculture.
She plans to expand her work into additional areas, including exploring the future of medicine with a scholarship to the School of Humanity, learning to code to develop BCIs + ML and AR, developing here creative and advocacy skills at YLAC with a counter-speech, and publishing her Review Paper and finishing off my cellular agriculture wiki to help others learn more.
