The chapter founders are a group of students from universities all across the world who will take their experiences working together with a nonprofit in the spring and replicate the Biokind chapter at Rice to support the organizations in their local communities. These communities include London, Toronto, Vancouver, Tennessee, Maryland, and Sydney.
The chapter founders team will be working with ALS Texas, a nonprofit organization that provides support to patients with ALS and their families. They will help the organization analyze their patient datasets, further examining variables including insurance and median household income.
