Naina Chopra, a student from Dougherty Valley, has won first place at the Contra Costa Science & Engineering Fair with her research on new bladder cancer treatments. Inspired by a family friend’s battle with bladder cancer, Chopra conducted her project and discovered that Vitamin C inhibited cancer cell proliferation when exposed to varying doses for two months.
Her project was titled “Investigation of the Role of Ascorbic Acid in Reducing Bladder Cancer Presence,” and it received positive feedback at the Contra Costa Science & Engineering Fair. Now, she is looking forward to presenting her research at the California Science & Engineering Fair to further advance the treatment of bladder cancer.
Chopra expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to share her findings and potentially offer hope to those battling cancer through an email to Patch. She also mentioned her hope to one day get the treatment cleared for human trials and assess its viability as a major solution for preventing further cancer growth in patients with bladder cancer.
