The Gift of Adversity | Sophie Edelstein | TEDxYale

Sophie Edelstein talks about her experience with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and how this seeming hardship has ultimately been a gift in bringing her to her passion: biological research. Sophie Edelstein, 17, is a dually enrolled student at Wilbur Cross High School and Yale University. Sophie was the third place grand award winner in biomedical engineering at the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair in 2017 challenging her fourth place finish in 2016 for her research pertaining to her own health challenges. More recently, Sophie has been named one of Connecticut’s top Women in Innovation by the Connecticut Technology Council and has begun new research in the Chang Lab, working to turn human perictyes, typically a vascular cell, into osteoblasts and chondrocytes for a variety of tissue engineering applications. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
