GLENDALE-In response to an appeal by Chamlian’s Administration, the
Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) has donated a DNA Gel
Electrophoresis Chamber for the school’s Science Lab. This equipment,
used to study DNA, will expose our students to the field of Molecular
Biology while giving them a unique hands-on experience with the
scientific process.

During a recent visit to Chamlian, Dr. Frieda Jordan, President of
ABMDR, and Dr. Vergine Madelian, Director of Outreach and Education
at ABMDR, presented the equipment to the school. Chamlian’s Science
Department Chair, Lida Gevorkian, was on hand to accept the generous
gift.

“ABMDR has had a strong partnership with Chamlian Armenian School
for several years,” stated Dr. Frieda Jordan. She added, “Students
and staff have sponsored and participated actively in our events,
and ABMDR, in turn, has helped the school with its science fair. We
are very happy to donate scientific equipment to help advance the
creation of its DNA molecular laboratory.”

Chamlian’s Principal, Vazken Madenlian, proudly acknowledged ABMDR’s
support of the school’s Science program, stating, “We are lucky to
have partners such as ABMDR, who not only provide great service to
the Armenian community, but also to the world of science.”
