This is a “first look” presentation of Jack Andraka’s opening keynote presentation at Stanford Medicine X on Saturday September 28, 2013. A complete presentation will be posted at a later date.

Moore award at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, as well as the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award.
