Senior Project Spotlight: Large Language Models of

Senior Project Spotlight: Large Language Models offer incredible new ways to analyze data for the therapeutic benefit of patients. Our Senior River W. ‘26 worked with a team at Memorial Sloan Kettering to log 4 million oncology notes into one of the largest clinico-genomic adverse events datasets. River then used the dataset to investigate the biological mechanisms of immunotherapy-induced adverse events to identify genes associated with them. The clinical implications are very promising, and hopefully, with further research, this work will help oncologists determine which patients are at high risk of immunotherapy-induced adverse events. This fall, River will continue to pursue his interests in biomedical computation and philosophy at Stanford University. He is grateful to his Senior Project faculty advisor, Dr. Hamzawsky, and his off-site advisor, Dr. Resnick, for their guidance and support. #SeniorProject #OriginalResearch #HighHonors #BASISIndependentBrooklyn

SUMMER CAMP SNAPSHOTS: Last week, our brave day campers embarked on a safari adventure, equipped with handmade hats and binoculars. They tracked down clues on scavenger hunts, discovered where animals around the world make their homes, and created clay animals and tissue paper butterflies. A few weeks ago, our campers blasted off to the year 3000! They imagined what Brooklyn’s future might hold—robots, aliens, and flying cars—as they designed their own time machines, envisioned their future selves, and built working circuits out of paper. Our week culminated in a trip to the New York Hall of Science, where we explored the physics of bubbles and learned about the civil engineering elements behind urban planning. #SummerCamp #LowerSchool #SummerAdventure #BASISIndependentBrooklyn

Senior Project Spotlight: As deductibles, co-pays,

Senior Project Spotlight: As deductibles, co-pays, and complex structures increasingly shift financial responsibility onto patients, older adults—many of whom rely on fixed incomes and public insurance programs—face heightened vulnerability to financial uncertainty in healthcare. Kanika R. ‘26 spent her Senior Project analyzing how older adults (aged 65+) in NYC perceive out-of-pocket costs, insurance predictability, and financial anxiety, and how these perceptions influence decisions to seek, delay, or modify care. This fall, Kanika will continue to pursue her interest in economics and business at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. She is grateful to her Senior Project faculty advisor, Mr. Sperrazza, and her off-site advisor, BIB parent Dr. Brookes Brown, for their guidance and support. Kanika’s internship for her Senior Project was with a wonderful organization called @jasaseniors where she volunteered through the years as well as NY Health Hospitals. #SeniorProject #OriginalResearch #HighHonors #BASISIndependentBrooklyn
