BioPolicy connects cancer research to real-world policy — turning what I learn about tumor biology and drug discovery into concrete proposals that expand treatment access for low-income families across New York.
I'm a senior at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City and the founder of BioPolicy. Through my school's biology research program, mentored by the Azizi Lab at Columbia University, I study the breast cancer microbiome using computational analysis of genomic and spatial data. I'm also Co-President of my school's Quantum Mechanics Club and a content and proofreading editor for The Science Survey.
BioPolicy is where I connect that research to policy that expands cancer treatment access for low-income families across New York.

Visit neurosharp.io ↗Cancer research moves fast. Access doesn't always follow. I research, write, and advocate at the intersection of tumor biology and health equity — because understanding the science is only half the job.
I study the biology behind cancer treatment and where the access gap actually opens up.
I turn research into concrete, actionable proposals for New York families.
I write and publish to build awareness of the gap between what science can do and who can afford it.
My research draws on real work in tumor biology — from studying how immune cells and microbial signals interact within breast tumors, to tracking how a lab discovery becomes (or fails to become) an affordable treatment. Every post connects that science directly to a policy question.
