Welcome to the K-12 Ultrasound for Genetic Therapy Mini-Symposium, a unique platform event designed for middle and high school-level independent researchers with a passion for science and discovery. Held alongside an international academic symposium and co-sponsored by IEEE and USC, this program introduces young scholars to the exciting frontiers of medical ultrasound and genetic engineering. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to spark curiosity, nurture independent research, and foster a vibrant local community where aspiring researchers can connect with leading international scientists.

Join us in fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue, forging new collaborations, and charting the path toward safer, more effective interventions that make the invisible workings of cells visible—and actionable. Whether you’re presenting a late-breaking discovery or learning from experts, this symposium will inspire fresh ideas and propel the field forward.

Let’s illuminate the future of cell imaging and ultrasound therapy together
