Mission Statement
Our Mission is to promote citizen participation, to achieve scientific literacy, and to provide guidance and education in biomedical research. Using a hands on approach to learning science, we provide free open access to a biomedical research program including lab space, reagents, equipment, courses, and lectures to the greater Kansas City community at large. Central to our mission is the understanding that diversity of ideas and approaches to science is key to advances in the biomedical field and therefore we seek to broaden the field's perspective by actively engaging in outreach and mentoring to both women and minorities in science.
