GeneEd Donates Its Biotechnology Glossary to the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth
GeneEd gives back to society by helping our future leaders, the youth of today.
Newark, DE, October 27, 2003—
The Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and GeneEd, Inc. today announced that GeneEd has donated copies of "The GeneEd Glossary: The Definitive Guide to the Language of Biotechnology" to the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). Part of GeneEd's mission is to provide 5% of its profits, product and people to society. In keeping with this objective, GeneEd has responded to a request by the CTY to donate copies of its biotechnology glossary to high-school students interested in learning more about the Biotechnology and Bioengineering industries. The glossaries were distributed yesterday at a program that was held at the University of Delaware, sponsored by the Delaware Biotechnology Institute.
The 2003 Science & Technology Series "Explorations in Biotechnology and Bioengineering" is for eighth and ninth grade students and their parents. Pioneering researchers and professors from premier host institutions will share their knowledge and unique insight into topics that include:
· Cell biology
· Developmental biology
· Microbiology
· Molecular Medicine
· Biomaterials
· Biomedical Instrumentation
"The GeneEd glossaries will be a useful addition to the CTY program materials provided to the students and parents attending these programs," said Mary Crowley, Conference Coordinator for the Center for Talented Youth. "We are glad to know that GeneEd sees great value in supporting and encouraging educational advancement."
"It's a privilege and an honor to be able to participate with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth" said Dr. Sunil Maulik, GeneEd's CEO. "We have always felt that the same awarding-winning technology that we have used to develop scientist, physician and patient education could also be used to teach high-school students. We look forward to receiving feedback from these extremely capable students on the usefulness of the glossary and how we may improve it still further in the future."
An electronic version of the glossary is available on the GeneEd website (http://www.geneed.com/glossary/index.html). If you are interested in purchasing this pocket-sized book for your reference, please contact Candice Roman via phone at (415) 861-7627 x112 or email at candice.roman@geneed.com.
