ISRP Senior Wins 2nd Place at National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium

Senior Katherine Chen joined approximately 250 students from around the country to present her investigation on evading natural immunity to better deliver therapeutics for genetic diseases at the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. Her poster won 2nd place in the category of Biomedical Sciences.
In order to qualify for this fair, Katherine won 1st place at both the regional and state level JSHS. On Feb. 28 and 29, she presented her work — which represents three years of research in the Independent Science Research Program — at the state level Junior Science and Humanities Symposium.

She qualified for the state level symposium on Jan. 20 by placing first in her room at the regional Westchester-Rockland Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, in which more than 250 students from around the region participated. Katherine again won first place in her room at the state level symposium! Her project was one of the top five (out of 43) in the state, and she earned a spot to present a poster at the National Symposium from May 1 to 4.

We are so proud of Katherine for her passion and dedication to complete such fantastic research for the past three years!
