Gen Z Superstars: The New Faces of Health Innovation

Panel

Aspen Ideas: Health · Aspen, Colorado · June 2026

I was invited to speak on the Gen Z Superstars: The New Faces of Health Innovation panel after my win at Regeneron STS. I talked about building the JIA cell model, what it's like to research a disease you personally live with, and why pediatric conditions get so much less attention than their adult equivalents.

Other than speaking, I was able to listen to talks and meet many people in the science community, including Francis Collins, the geneticist who led the Human Genome Project and directed the National Institutes of Health, and Ruth Katz, the director of Aspen Ideas: Health.
