We’re excited to host Life Sciences Day for high school students on October 24th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm! Our goal is to connect students with industry professionals and introduce them to diverse careers in the Life Sciences.

- CURE: 345 Park Ave. South
- Alexandria: 430 East 29th St.
- Indie Bio: 7 Penn Plaza
- West End Labs: 125 West End Ave.
