Curious about the Advanced Science Research Center? Learn more about our five research initiatives at the ASRC IlluminationSpace.
At the ASRC IlluminationSpace, located at the Advanced Science Research Center of The Graduate Center of The City University of New York, students explore five exciting and interconnected areas of science — nanoscience, photonics, structural biology, neuroscience, and environmental sciences — in a fun and supportive environment to encourage a deeper understanding of how science shapes our everyday lives.
Through interactive motion and touchscreen games and engaging conversations with researchers, visitors learn about the ASRC’s initiatives, inspiring them to search for science in the world around them.
