Join us on this BioQuest!

BioQuest by RTW Charitable Foundation is a STEM enrichment program designed to give students opportunities to explore pathways and careers in science, biotech, and medicine alongside mentors in these fields. The program will include six events throughout the academic year from science lab activities to a career day at a biotech investment firm. Our goal is to inspire future innovators and create opportunities for exploration and connection.

This program has been developed by collaborators from RTW Charitable Foundation (RTWCF), Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC), Areté Education, BioBus, and Weill Cornell Medicine.
