Student to student: Febronia Mansour, right, a senior at Guilderland High School, tells her classmates about her research on the model system organism called Caenorhabditis Elegans, a transparent, glowing worm. She worked with a lab team at Albany Medical Center to study the worm’s nervous system under genetic conditions that are often associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Mansour hopes to pursue a career in biology, doing neurological research.
