Sarah Feng<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sarah is a rising senior at Shorewood High School in Shoreline, Washington. In school and outside of school, she enjoys playing the flute and loves connecting with others who are avid musicians. Sarah currently plays the flute for the Cascade Youth Symphony Orchestras and has been participating in the program since seventh grade. In school, Sarah takes on leadership roles in clubs such as National Honor Society, Science Club, and Tri-M. In addition to this, Sarah is heading a club in her school called HAFS (Helping Animals Feel Safe) which aims to provide community service opportunities for students interested in helping out at animal shelters or with other pet-related activities. Sarah spends her time volunteering at local food banks, elementary schools, and various non-profit organizations. In her sophomore and junior year, Sarah received the Presidential Volunteer\u2019s Service Award for dedicating her time outside of school to volunteering in her community. In her free time, Sarah likes to cook (she\u2019s pretty much Gordon Ramsay 2.0), draw, listen to music, and practice archery.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Over the summer as a rising junior, Sarah completed the ESORE program under ISB and made a <\/span>final art project<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>keystone species project<\/span><\/a> showcasing the interplay between acquiring allergies as people move towards more populated and polluted cities. She then showcased this art project under the <\/span>Ignite STEM event<\/span><\/a> in spring of 2023. In the future, Sarah hopes to complete medical school and do something along the lines of neurology, oncology, or dermatology. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss any topics with her!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sarah worked in the Health Data Science Lab analyzing polygenic risk scores, mutations on the FLG gene, and various interleukins to find intersections between seasonal allergies and eczema. Alongside intern Lea Repovic and mentor Dr. Andrew Magis, the team worked to use Python and systems thinking to generate data proving how genetic variants predispose a person to chronic conditions later on and how blood tests can be proved useful to analyze overlapping facets of allergic rhinitis, asthma, food allergies, and eczema. <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
