Adam Geffner, High School Student

Mr. Adam Geffner is enrolled at the Science Research Program at Livingston High School in Livingston, NJ.  Adam is part of a research program where each student is required to find an interest and present published research articles in this field to the rest of the class. Once a topic is chosen, the students immerse themselves in reading the published research and search for an appropriate mentor with whom they could perform a manageable research project.  Adam will spend his summer printing cells.
