St. Anthony's Student Named Intel Semifinalist

A St. Anthony’s High School student is among 43 Long Island high school seniors named semifinalists in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search.

Delaney Rose Lenaghan,18, got the news on Wednesday about being in an elite pool of 300 students nationwide to be selected as semifinalists.

From this pool, 40 finalists are then invited to Washington, D.C,. in March to participate in final judging, display their work to the public, meet with notable scientists, and compete for three top awards of $150,000 each.

Lenaghan’s project is entitled “High-Throughput Screening Identifies Fluticasone Propionate as an Inhibitor of PEDF-induced Activation of Macrophages.”

Congratulations Delaney!
