He is still in Grade 11 but presented research at a global medical conference; his findings raise questions about air pollution's impact on fertility treatment

At a time when most students are still exploring their academic interests, a Grade 11 student has presented his medical research at the prestigious ASRM 2026 conference. Working under the mentorship of a Stanford professor, Jeffrey Zi Kang Huang examined the possible association between air pollution and IVF outcomes across 27 European countries. His findings point to a potential link between higher PM2.5 exposure and lower pregnancy and delivery rates, highlighting his early journey into biomedical research.
