Read about her at merrick.patch.com/articles/intel-semifinalist-asia-brown
This was an amazing project studying the effects of altered genes in colon cancer. The actual title is formidable and most impressive:
The bottom line in this story really is her statement, reflecting upon her experience:
The Intel competition is NOT Asia Brown's first or only foray into real science. The January 2012 issue of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District newsletter carried the following article about Asia Brown:
Critical here are the partnerships. One with SUNY Stony Brook, and the other with the IEEE ICCABS ('IEEE' for practical or follow-up purposes).
The Wantagh BAC is again trying their hand at alternative revenue sources and "advocacy". Maybe they should look into IEEE-ICABS and see what we've apparently overlooked, by way of a potential partnership.
Perhaps the Wantagh Science Chair can give SUNY Stony Brook a call and find out how Wantagh kids can partner with their research labs. Or, how about Dowling, Hofstra, Adelphi? I think Wantagh has friends in each of those schools.
WE CAN DO THIS!

This was an amazing project studying the effects of altered genes in colon cancer. The actual title is formidable and most impressive:
"The Analysis of Altered Gene Expression in Human Colon Cancer Exposed to the Methylation Inhibitor 5-aza-2' Deoxycytidine"I hope you take a few moments to read the article in Patch (link).
The bottom line in this story really is her statement, reflecting upon her experience:
"After thinking about it, I am amazed at what I did."Anyway, this is yet another nationally competitive high school science project done at SUNY Stony Brook, partially with YOUR state tax dollars. But YOUR kid can't compete in this stuff because your school district thinks it has "money" "problems".
The Intel competition is NOT Asia Brown's first or only foray into real science. The January 2012 issue of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District newsletter carried the following article about Asia Brown:
CALHOUN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT’S RESEARCH PAPERS PUBLISHED IN PROFESSIONAL JOURNALS
"The Calhoun High School Science Department is proud to announce that two of Asia Brown’s research papers were published in professional journals. Asia Brown, a senior in the Advanced Science Research program, has been named as co-author on two research papers submitted to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Conference of Computational Advances in Biomedical Sciences (IEEE ICCABS). The aim of IEEE ICCABS is to bring together leading academic and industry researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational methods for medical sciences. The articles submitted are: Comparison of RNA-Seq with microarray analysis of the transcriptional response in HT-29 colon cancer cells to 5-Aza-deoxycytidine and Genome-wide expression profiling reveals epigenetic and microRNA-mediated gene regulations in colorectal cancer.
Congratulations to Asia Brown and her research teachers, Ms. Kimberlie Lascarides, Ms. Jennifer Pefanis, and Mr. Nick Pappas!"
