FAQ PAGE

 

“Whenever I am asked why I am involved in research, my first response is always KEYS. KEYS provided a hands-on experience in scientific research that I don’t believe I could have received anywhere else. It was the gateway to finding my passion and introduced me to the field I hope to be a part of for the rest of my life.”
