On October 11th, senior Science Research student, Diane Zhang was accepted to present her research via poster at the AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association) 2018 Annual Symposium in San Francisco, CA November 4-7, 2018. Diane’s work, Transcriptional Regulation in Atrial Versus Ventricular Cardiomyocytes was reviewed and selected based on the following criteria: importance to the field, scholarship, methodological contribution, and overall organization of the presentation. The AMIA 2018 High School Scholar Program (HSSP) provides opportunities for high school students to present their research through the funding of airfare, lodging, and meals for selected students. Congratulations, Diane!
