2025 Regeneron Scholar
2025 Regeneron Scholar
We offer huge congratulations to West High Senior Mingchuan Cheng, who was named a 2025 Regeneron Scholar! Mingchuan was one of only two students in Utah to earn this honor. His project, "Quantifying the Cognitive Demand of Controlling a Prosthesis With a Secondary Detection Response Task," aims to improve how we measure cognitive load in prosthetic users, paving the way for more natural, intuitive prosthetics.
Now in its 84th year, the Regeneron Scholar competition identifies extraordinary young minds who blend scientific talent, curiosity, and bold leadership to drive meaningful change for society. Regeneron Science Talent Search alumni have gone on to win 13 Nobel Prizes, 23 MacArthur Fellowships, and have founded numerous world-changing companies, including Regeneron.
