Tribute to Subhashree Madhavan and the Rembrandt Project Team




Washington, D.C. - Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend one of my constituents, Subhashree Madhavan, and her Rembrandt Project Team at the National Institutes of Health.  Ms. Madhavan and her colleagues were recently named among thirty finalists for the 2005 Service to America medals awarded by the Partnership for Public Service.
 
The Service to America award program recognizes career federal employees for their significant contributions to the nation.  Recipients of the “Sammies” are among the best and brightest of our public servants.  While we seldom give public recognition to their efforts, they devote their lives and careers to the cause of our national welfare.  They are models to the rest of the federal workforce and inspirations to us all.
 
Since joining the National Cancer Institute Center for Bioinformatics at NIH, Ms. Madhavan has overseen the development of the Rembrandt Project.  Rembrandt (REpository for Molecular BRAin Neoplasia DaTa) is a database that brings together data from an NCI clinical study with a vast store of existing data on brain tumors.  By bridging the gap between clinical and biological information, Rembrandt will facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients and will assist brain cancer researchers in their search for a cure.
 
Mr. Speaker, I offer my warmest congratulations to Ms. Madhavan and her team.
