Asmin from Izmir Accepted to a US University Before High School Graduation
Turkish Student Develops Insulin Production Substance
Asmin Rana Avşar, a promising 11th-grade student from Turkey, has been accepted to study at Drexel University even before graduating from high school. The young scientist’s mother, Specialist Doctor Ayşe Avşar, is his inspiration, and his goal is to walk in the footsteps of Atatürk.
One of Avşar’s recent accomplishments is isolating the substance used in producing insulin, a crucial drug for diabetes patients. Although insulin is not very expensive in Turkey, it is costly and challenging to manufacture in some countries. With his teammate, Avşar developed the substance, which could have a significant impact on insulin production in countries struggling with the drug’s high cost.
Avşar aims to stay at the university, teach, and set up his own laboratory. His ultimate goal is to support successful students and help them realize their dreams. The young scientist urged for support in covering his university expenses, as he pursues his undergraduate and graduate education in biomedical engineering.
The Turkish student’s innovation highlights the importance of investing in young talents, who could have the potential to make positive contributions to society. Avşar’s passion for scientific research and his dedication to helping others is a great inspiration for many aspiring scientists and engineers worldwide.
