Eva Vertes (born 1985) is an American Alzheimer's and cancer researcher. She is a University of Florida College of Medicine student pursuing her M.D. degree after attending Princeton University as an undergraduate. She was recognized for her research when she was still a teenager. At 17, she discovered properties of a chemical compound, (RPI-069) which stopped the brain cells of fruit flies from dying. This is considered a step towards curing Alzheimer's.〔(Eva Vertes ), MIT, November 2007〕 She won first prize at BASEF and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Kentucky, and then finished her high school diploma by correspondence while continuing her research in Italy for a year, under a fellowship she was awarded.〔(Ontario Trillium Foundation )〕 She is also recognized for her research which found a correlation between stem cells and brain cancer. This finding is the basis of her argument that cancer itself is the body's natural self-repair system in error. She is perhaps most visible due to her being on a PBS series on scientists, and speaking at the TED convention. ==See also== * TED * Stem cells * Cancer * Alzheimer's Disease 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eva Vertes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
