April 19, 2010AR INBRE Bioinformatics Core*Little Rock Central High School Junior Ms. Kamakshi L. Duvvuru recently presented her year-two results for Bioinformatic Identification of Novel Protein Domains at the Central Arkansas Regional Science Fair. The partial results are from a planned three-year project under the direction of Mr. Roger Hall, Technical Director of the MidSouth Bioinformatics Center at UALR. Ms. Duvvuru was awarded 1st Place for Senior Division Computer Science on her way to 1st Place Overall and the first Arkansas invitation to the 2010 International Science Fair in San Jose, CA this May. Additionally, Ms. Duvvuru won the Army Math/Computer Science Award, Intel Excellence in Computer Science Award, and a UALR Excellence in Information or Computing Award. Ms. Duvvuru is currently being considered for the NIH Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research, and plans to complete her project before entering the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology as a Senior in December 2010.
