Smart Mycelium Wound Dressings with Integrated pH Sensors

Research Context & Competition

This research was developed for submission to two platforms, or more accurately, one platform that provides the opportunity, if selected, to publish to the other.

CYM Ottawa Conference

The Connecting Young Minds (CYM) Ottawa conference, hosted by cymottawa.com, represents a platform for young researchers in Ottawa, Canada, to present innovative solutions to global challenges. For the 2025 competition, I submitted an anonymous abstract and a URNCST journal submission.

Winners will be selected in early September for a 5-minute presentation at the conference on September 20th, 2025 in Ottawa. This platform provides an opportunity to share groundbreaking research with both young and established researchers. Additionally, top contestants have the opportunity to get published in the URNCST journal.

URNCST Journal

Simultaneously, I submitted an authored abstract to the Undergraduate Research in Natural and Clinical Science and Technology (URNCST) journal. This submission includes my name as the author and follows a similar timeline, with potential publication if selected.

Update

Following ten judges' review of my abstract, my overall ranking was 13. I was therefore eligible for a poster presentation and an undergraduate journal publication.
