The mission of the Student Biotech Expo is to promote an understanding of bioscience research among high school students. We provide access to scientific resources and engage students in new creative ways to demonstrate what they knowand are able to do within the disciplines of biotechnology and biomedicine. By connecting students, teachers, scientistsand the general public together, we strengthen our life sciences community.
