REMBRANDT Team Awarded Service Medal

Dr. Subhashree Madhavan of NCI's Center for Bioinformatics and her colleagues on the REMBRANDT Project received a 2005 Service to America Medal ("Sammie"). They were honored in the category of Science and Environment for developing a national database that will house molecular and genetic data on all types of brain tumors, including information from an NCI clinical study and a vast store of existing information on brain tumors. Conducted in partnership with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, REMBRANDT (REpository for Molecular BRAin Neoplasia DaTa) supports analysis of clinical and molecular datasets from the Glioma Molecular Diagnostic Initiative, a brain tumor study spearheaded by Dr. Howard Fine of NCI's CCR. The Sammies were created in 2002 to recognize the finest achievements of public servants across the country. The medal was awarded on September 28.
