NEWS Research at the Center of Biotechnology Produces 2004 Intel Finalist and 2004 ISEF Award Winner Daniel Choi, a Syosset High School, Long Island, student, has won multiple awards for his research done in the Applied Bioscience Laboratory at the Center. His research project, "DNA Microarray Analysis of Shewanella Oneidensis Grown for Fuel Cell Use", placed him among the top 40 finalists of the 2004 Intel Science Talent Search. The Intel Science Talent Search, America's oldest and most prestigious pre-college science competition - often considered the "junior Nobel Prize" - provides an incentive for students to develop their scientific interests at an early age and a forum for them to share their ideas with other talented young scientists around the country. Daniel spent a week in Washington, D.C. touring the US Capitol and meet with President George W. Bush at the White House. Intel also awarded Dan with a $5,000 scholarship and an Intel CentrinoTM mobile technology-based notebook computer. The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world's only international science fair representing all life sciences for high school students, also recognized Daniel's research at the 2004 ISEF competition. He traveled to Portland, Oregon to compete with 1200 students, representing over 40 countries. He won second place in the Microbiology category and was awarded a $1,500 cash prize. The research project was done under the guidance of Dr. Anil Dhundale, Director of Scientific Affairs, and Ms. Melissa Monaghan, Research Support Specialist. This project was in collaboration with Dr. Jizhong Zhou’s group at Oak Ridge National Labs who provided Shewanella DNA microarrays.

Careers Conference: Visions for the Future
The Annual Bioscience Careers Conference on January 17, 2002 was a huge success. More than 200 Masters students, PhDs and Post Doctoral Fellows from the life sciences attended the all day conference at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. Participants at the conference represented more than 25 research and academic institutions throughout New York State including NYU, Cornell, Rockefeller University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Columbia, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Rochester Institute of Technology, CUNY and Stony Brook University.
Distinguished speakers from the bioscience industry presented insightful and engaging presentations on diverse career opportunities in Corporate R&D, Business Development, Investment Banking, Venture Capital, Finance, Law, Marketing, Communications and Investor Relations. The closing plenary, "Visions for the Future" engaged the audience in a thought provoking exploration of the state of New York's bioscience industry and its implication for education and economic development. Participants at the conference had an opportunity to meet with bioscience companies to discuss potential career opportunities. Companies that exhibited included -
The Center for Biotechnology would like to thank Morgan & Finnegan LLP for their sponsorship of the Closing Plenary, "Visions for the Future".
