The USA Biology Olympiad has named Nikhil Buduma, a senior at Bellarmine College Preparatory, one of only 21 students from throughout the country, and one of only nine from California, who qualified as a National Finalist and who will participate in the prestigious summer program at Purdue University. This is the third consecutive year Buduma has achieved this honor. Last year, he also qualified to represent the United States at the International Biology Olympiad in Singapore and received a gold medal at that event.
