JEANNY YAO
Biochemistry and Environmental Science
A trip to a landfill opened Jeanny Yao’s eyes to the problem of plastic pollution. Through her high school research, Jeanny discovered bacteria strains that degrade plasticizers, toxic additives in plastic. She was awarded the Greatest Commercialization Award at the Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada, named one of Canada’s Top 20 Under 20, and one of Canada’s future leaders. Jeanny is now at UTSC exploring bacteria genetics and searching for a solution to degrading solid plastic waste.
