Community Outreach & Collaborations

We partner with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to share our work on metabolism, circadian rhythms, and cellular maturation with diverse audiences.



Our outreach mission

The J-RAD Lab is committed to making biomedical research accessible and relevant to communities that are historically excluded from science. Through outreach, we aim to:

  • Inspire middle school, high school, and undergraduate students to pursue STEM careers.
  • Highlight the journeys of first-generation and underrepresented scientists in our team.
  • Build long-term, reciprocal partnerships with schools, educators, and community organizations.

Current and recent partners

We collaborate with a wide range of UPenn and community organizations that support STEM education, mentorship, and diversity in science.

We welcome collaborations with additional schools, nonprofits, and student-led STEM organizations.
