Montana State University alumnus Joseph Azzarelli has won a prestigious business plan competition with a noninvasive, low-cost lung cancer screening technology that he played a key role in developing.

Azzarelli, who earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from MSU in 2010, shared the $100,000 grand prize at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s 27th annual Entrepreneurship Competition with his teammates, three Harvard University students. The "$100K," as the widely recognized competition is known, was held in May, while Azzarelli was completing his doctorate in chemistry at MIT.
