๐ Science Program OverviewThe primary problem we aim to address with our program is the lack of accessibility and opportunities for high school students from low-income families and minority communities to acquire skills in bioinformatics RNA-seq data analysis. In the ever-evolving landscape of biomedical research, the reliance on bioinformatic data analysis is rapidly increasing. Recognizing this need, we initiated our bioinformatics training program in 2020. ๐ฏ Our MissionIn the ever-evolving landscape of biomedical research, the reliance on bioinformatic data analysis is rapidly increasing. As traditional wet lab experiments give way to more sophisticated and compacted approaches, it is crucial for future biomedical researchers to be familiar with this technological revolution. Recognizing this need, we initiated our bioinformatics training program in 2020 to provide comprehensive training in bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis, especially focusing on students from underrepresented backgrounds. ๐ค Our Commitment to DiversityBy focusing on underprivileged and minority students, we actively promote racial equity by providing them with the necessary tools and opportunities to succeed in the field of biomedical research. The North American Chinese Educational Foundation is expanding our scholarship program to offer more opportunities for low-income and minority students to excel and thrive in the future. ๐ฉโ๐

๐ง Senior COVID-19 Awareness Education ProgramIn 2020, amidst the challenges of the global pandemic, we launched a senior COVID-19 awareness education program aimed at empowering and protecting the senior community. Through a series of thoughtfully crafted online pre-recorded videos, the program addressed crucial topics such as virus prevention, health precautions, and mental well-being during uncertain times. 
๐งฉ Program Components๐ฆ
Virus PreventionComprehensive education on how the virus spreads and effective prevention strategies tailored for senior citizens. ๐
Health PrecautionsPractical guidance on maintaining health, managing pre-existing conditions, and implementing safety measures. ๐ก
Mental Well-beingSupport resources and techniques to maintain positive mental health during isolation and uncertain times. ๐ Program ImpactThis initiative successfully engaged and educated over 1,000 individuals within senior communities, providing them with accessible resources to navigate the complexities of the pandemic. By leveraging technology to deliver impactful content, the program not only promoted awareness but also fostered a sense of support and connection during a time of social distancing. Our commitment to serving seniors through innovative approaches underscored the importance of community care, resilience, and education in overcoming the challenges of COVID-19.
