..so where was the public school representation?? to busy with the ipods..cell phones and hiphop tatoos and holding up your pants..
"Sister Mary Jane is a really impressive character," says Keith O'Neill, who manages special sequencing projects at the Broad Institute. "She does all of this great work so quietly and so understatedly -- almost as if this all happens at every high school. And of course it doesn't -- it's the complete opposite. This is really a unique team and facility that she's put together."
Much of Sacred Heart's reputation has come through the school's presentations at the prestigious Hilton Head conference. At the first meeting the school attended in 1998, the Sacred Heart presentation caught the attention of Michael Hunkapiller, then president of Applied Biosystems, the company whose technology was used to sequence the human genome. That contact led to the company donating an automated DNA sequencer to Sacred Heart. It was this instrument the school used to generate the osteoporosis data this year.
Paolella emphasizes that her role is that of mentor and that her students do all the DNA sequencing work.
