CHEE Undergrad Joins UACI Intern Team

CHEE strengthens its partnership with the University of Arizona Center for Innovation with a chemical engineering undergraduate student taking a role on the UACI Intern Team. Sophia Mischke is one of five women comprising the team, which pairs students with researchers. 

Mischke is working with the local startup company uPetsia, which is using science and technology to fight bad breath and dental issues in dogs. 

"I really loved learning about uPetsia's technology and speaking to veterinarians about the benefits and challenges of applying the technology," Mischke said. 

The UACI Intern Team is supported with funds from the U.S. Small Business Administration and Wells Fargo.
