We are delighted to congratulate Grade 11 student Saket Subramaniam on the publication of his research paper in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Student Research. Developed as an independent project under the guidance of his mentor Huairen Zhang, a PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge, Saket’s paper (“The Correlation Between the Surgical Margin and Survival in Patients with Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”) investigates how the extent of healthy tissue removed during liver tumour surgery may affect patient survival outcomes, a significant question in the field of surgical oncology.
Currently serving as Academic Ambassador for 2025–2026, Saket approached this work with remarkable intellectual curiosity and resilience, choosing to employ meta-analysis, a statistically rigorous method rarely attempted by student researchers, to draw meaningful conclusions from existing studies. His commitment to scholarship that reaches beyond the classroom is a source of enormous pride for our community. You can read the full paper here.
