About the Founder

Thanvi is a rising junior with a passion for art and science. She is sensitive about the healing impact that art can have on children who are ill and in long-term residencies in hospitals. Equally important to Thanvi, is the therapeutic value that art and communication through art can have on the elderly. Therefore, she and her team bring ArtRX to hospitals and nursing homes throughout New York. Thanvi is a cancer researcher through Cornell Weil Medical Center studying potential therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy. Her previous research on limb regeneration, under the mentorship of Professor Ay Birol at Harvard University, is pending publication. A participant in SARAS at Stony Brook University and the manager of the Jericho High School Boys' Badminton Team, Thanvi is also a gold key winner in the Scholastic Art & Writing Competition.
