In May, rising junior Andrew Jin won a second-place award in the medicine and health sciences category at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Phoenix, Ariz. His project, titled “Breast Cancer Prognosis through Gene Expression Profiling and Tumor Morphology,” also earned him a $1,500 prize. The American Statistical Association also honored Jin with a third-place special award, which included a $250 cash prize and a five-year school license for Harker for the JMP statistical software suite.

The ISEF attracted more than 1,500 high school students from all over the world to compete. More information on Jin’s awards can be found in the lists of ISEF Grand Award winners and Special Award Organization Winners.
