At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele became the Nicole of the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among nine other finalists with his creative invention known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap. An recognition of his exceptional achievement, this ninth - grade teenager is set to receive a cash award of $25,000.Bekele's revolutionary concept, presented through a brief two - minute video, centres on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, priced at less than $10 per bar, but also has the potential to reactivate (重新激活) dendritic cells—the body's natural defenders of the skin—to fight against skin cancer.
In Bekele's own words, “Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time.” His passion for biology and technology was the driving force behind this ingenious creation, and the 3M Young Scientist Challenge provided him with the perfect platform to showcase his visionary ideas.
Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood in Ethiopia played a significant role in shaping his creative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the burning sun, he couldn't help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with prolonged sun exposure.
“I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience,” Bekele expressed during an interview with The Washington Post. To aid him in realising his big plans, he received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist at 3M, who connected him with other scientists. Eventually, the path forward for Bekele's creation includes obtaining FDA approval.
During his presentation at the 3M global headquarters in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Bekele passionately articulated his vision of turning the soap into a “symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all”.
Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a non - profit organisation dedicated to distributing his innovative creation to under - served communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.
