George Lee, a BME junior, had his first author, 12-page paper, �An Empirical Comparison of Dimensionality Reduction Methods for Classifying Gene and Protein Expression Datasets�, accepted at the International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications to be held in Atlanta, GA in May 2007. This represents a significant achievement because only 39% of papers submitted to this symposium were accepted. George is advised by Professor Anant Madabhushi.
