Team 9: “Cube Satellite Test Bench”: By making an open facil- ity to quickly test CubeSats of all kinds, the Governor’s STEM Scholars program and the Space Technology Association of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey will enable New Jersey colleges and research universities to become leaders in the growing space research industry. Team 14: “Investigating the Effi- ciency of CX-5461 Cancer Drug on Mutated C-kit1 Sequences Using Nanopore Technology” Mutation on Ckit1 gene has been observed in several types of malignancy, notably: leukemia, melanoma, and gastroin- testinal tumors. This research project utilizes nanotechnology to examine how point mutations on Ckit1 gene break the DNA structural integrity and consequently reduce the effica- cy of cancer drug.
Team 6: “Evaluating Micro- and Macro- Plastic Concentrations on New Jersey Coastal Beaches”: This research project addresses the microplastic crisis and confirms its presence in New Jersey coastal beaches. Further studies include offering possible solutions to remov- ing the plastic concentrations from our beaches and oceans to protect the health of our wildlife, planet, and own species.

Bolstering the State’s STEM educa- tion and career pipeline, the Gov- ernor’s STEM Scholars is a pub- lic-private partnership among the Research & Development Council, Governor’s Office, Department of Education, Office of the Secretary of Education, and industry and higher education that identifies and devel- ops New Jersey’s next STEM thought leaders who will drive a world-re- nowned STEM economy. Program components include field trips and symposiums introducing the scholars to STEM opportunities in industry, academia, and govern- ment. The Governors STEM Scholars mentors undergraduate and grad- uate scholars who, in turn, mentor teams of high school students on year-long research projects. A sam- ple of the projects being completed at different research institutions across the State this year include: 10.26.16 Rev.1.11.19 Design: GOVSTEM Sales: ANN SG
Team 7: “Microfluidic Devices to Characterize Endothelial Patholo- gy”: Microfluidic devices are import- ant to biomedical research because they provide an authentic testing space for vascular problems. This re- search project uses a bone capillary microfluidic device to study endo- thelial pathologies like osteomyelitis, and can be applied to other exper- iments, such as proteomic analysis of metastatic secretions from the endothelium.
