High School
Biomedical Engineering
Jan Ziv, a high school student at Maples Collegiate, has demonstrated remarkable passion and dedication. She emerged victorious in a science competition, outshining 2000 students, with her project on biomaterials in joint replacement, a project that was at the level of a Master’s degree. Jan is currently collaborating with Jacob Stevens, our R&D Engineer, on a new project to design a bone graft made of 3D-printed resorbable plastic with mixed antibiotics. Her enthusiasm and drive were palpable when she observed a rare reverse hip replacement procedure performed by Dr. Tom Turgeon. Throughout the procedure, she was continuously asking questions and taking notes. Her passion and dedication are truly inspiring.
