BRONX-MANHATTAN REGION RESEARCH EXPO 2026 Dear STEP and CSTEP students, parents, administrators, colleagues, and honored guests,My name is Kenya Townsend, and it is my sincere privilege to welcome you to the 9th Annual Bronx & Manhattan CSTEP Regional Research Expo. This year has been one of both challenge and transition for our region. I would be remiss not to acknowledge our immediate past Regional Representative, Dr. Millie Roth, who faithfully led this work for so many years and passed the baton to me. Her vision, commitment to students, and belief in the power of research and opportunity helped build this Expo into what it is today. I know she would be incredibly proud of the growth, excellence, and community represented here. We honor her legacy by continuing the work with intention, integrity, and heart. On behalf of our hardworking regional team and the phenomenal Expo Committee, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to participate, mentor, present, volunteer, support our parents, and most importantly, uplift our students. This event is a true community effort. The research displayed today, and the abstracts contained in this booklet represent the brilliance, curiosity, and discipline of the next generation of STEM professionals cultivated right here in New York City. These scholars come from institutions across the Bronx and Manhattan that proudly host NYSED STEP and CSTEP programs. Their work reflects not only academic rigor, but resilience, creativity, and possibility. While this booklet captures the outstanding projects presented at today’s Expo, it represents just a glimpse of the thousands of students who are part of our dynamic regional network. For over 40 years, NYSED CSTEP and STEP programs have opened doors for middle school, high school, and college students across New York State. We are proud to be the largest region in the state, and even prouder of the excellence our students continue to demonstrate. We extend special appreciation to the institutions participating in our inaugural College and Graduate School Fair. Your partnership helps ensure that our students see clear and tangible pathways to their future. To our families, educators, and partners, we could not do this work without you. Your support fuels opportunity. We hope you leave today inspired, energized, and deeply proud of our STEP and CSTEP scholars. Please visit the poster sessions, attend workshops, engage with our college and graduate school representatives, take photos, ask questions, and celebrate the remarkable talent in this room. With gratitude and pride, Kenya TownsendBronx and Manhattan Regional Representative, NYSED C/STEP Director, Center for Excellence in Youth Education (CEYE) Academic Community and Culture Core Office for Professional Engagement and Development Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Mount Sinai Health System
