During the final experience on July 26 students will travel to Research Triangle Park to spend one day with designated professionals at Ask Bio, a clinical-stage gene therapy company dedicated to developing AAV gene therapies for genetic and complex disorders. Students will see how a vaccine is made.

All expenses are covered including travel, T-shirt, backpack, student journal, swag from the UNC-CH School of Admissions and Ask Bio, and meals 

The experience is for rising ninth through 12th grade RRGSD students only.
