WHATNEXT partner website Patient Worthy recently published a story about Alena Analeigh, a teenage college senior who has chosen to dedicate her studies to researching ovarian cancer.
Reporter Jessica Lynn shares:
“At one point in her extraordinary life, Alena Analeigh thought that she might become an engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). But the 14-year-old prodigy now has other ideas. After she didn’t connect as deeply with her engineering courses as she thought, Analeigh switched gears; she began studying biological sciences and fell in love. Now, reports Jennifer Franciotti of WBAL-TV 11, Analeigh has spent the summer at the University of Maryland School of Medicine performing research on ovarian cancer.”
