Future Explorer: Carmen Tackles the Ethics of Human DNA Editing

Carmen, one of our remarkable students, recently achieved an extraordinary milestone in her academic journey.

Carmen participated in the Global Junior Scholar Essay Competition, an international contest that drew over 1,100 entrants from more than 53 countries. Her thought-provoking essay, which examined the ethics of editing human DNA, explored the complex moral questions and responsibilities that arise in this rapidly evolving field.

Her exceptional work did not go unnoticed. Carmen was shortlisted among a highly competitive pool of international contestants and went on to receive two prestigious honours: the Future Explorer Award and the Lumiere Scholarship, founded by Oxford and Harvard.

This recognition not only highlights Carmen’s intellectual curiosity and analytical skill but also her courage in tackling one of the most profound ethical questions of our time. We are incredibly proud of her achievements and can’t wait to see where her explorations and insights take her next.
