As with all cancers, early detection can lead to less aggressive and more successful treatment, but current diagnostic methods are problematic. Men deemed at-risk undergo a series of tests, including bloodwork and an MRI. If the results are concerning, the next step is typically a targeted biopsy, during which doctors use an ultrasound probe to essentially “guess” where the MRI-identified lesion may be and insert a needle into the prostate to take a tissue sample for analysis.

This year, Biomedical Engineering PhD student Nadia Abzan won the People’s Choice Award for her presentation, Breath of Life, with Environmental Engineering master’s student Lydia Hoffmann and Biomedical Engineering master’s student Tünde Lapohos also being named as competition finalists.

Initially developed by The University of Queensland, Australia, the Three Minute Thesis (or 3MT) is an academic competition that challenges graduate students to communicate the key concepts of their research in a compelling presentation of three minutes or less. Ӱԭ’s 3MT competition first began in 2013.

3MT People’s Choice Award Winner – Nadia Abzan (Breath of Life)

3MT Finalist – Lydia Hoffmann (Coming Together)

3MT Finalist – Tünde Lapohos (Development of a 3D ‘Lung-on-a-Chip’ Model to Understand ECM Asthma Remodelling)
