Chicago teen leads the way to colon cancer cure
Kevin Stonewall was discovering colon cancer breakthroughs during his last year of the high school.
While most of his peers were focused on graduating and figuring out “what’s next?”, Chicago teen Kevin Stonewall was discovering colon cancer breakthroughs and possible cures during his last year of the high school.
Chicago teen has possible cure for cancer
As a student working at a Rush University lab during his senior year, the Chicago teen from the Southside (Ashburn neighborhood) found a critical age-related drawback in an experimental vaccine aimed at preventing colon cancer in mice, according to a report from DNAInfo.
The current rising sophomore and biomedical engineering major at the University of Wisconsin Madison continues to follow his love for science and research a colon cancer vaccine that can be tested on the elderly, and ultimately, be a cure.
“I am very passionate about doing colon cancer research,” Kevin Stonewall said. “If it works on humans, I would be overwhelmed. My whole life would flash in front of me.”
