GIDAS

Held on Monday's in Mr. Jones' Room (B208)

Background: miRcore is a nonprofit that aims to democratize medical research so that anyone can initiate medical research that matters to them. Students in this club learn how to use tools like the Genome Browser, GEO2R, STRINGdb, KEGG, and others to find gene interactions that influence certain processes in the body and diseases. I'm currently a member of the national GIDAS (Genes in Diseases and Symptoms), a volunteer research and leadership program, and would like to start a branch club at our school. The members in this club would conduct research, participate in fundraising for research, and learn how to write simple research papers.
