Pine Crest Upper School Science Research Students Present at ISEF
May 29th 2025
Pine Crest Upper School students in the three-year Science Research Program presented their original research at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Columbus, Ohio, recently.
Mia Farber ’26, Mia Rozenberg ’25 and William Wakefield ’25 advanced through regional and state competitions to secure spots at the Fair with students from around the world.
Mia Farber explored how the weight-loss drug Exenatide might unexpectedly affect the immune system, with important implications for people with autoimmune diseases.
Mia Rozenberg engineered a new, cost-effective nanoparticle delivery system for RNA therapies, paving the way for more effective, non-invasive treatments for osteoarthritis.
William Wakefield created an AI tool that analyzes brain scans to help doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s and similar neurodegenerative diseases more accurately and visually. He earned the second Place Grand Award in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, along with a scholarship from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
“We are incredibly proud of these students for sharing their groundbreaking research with a global community of scientists and for their dedication, creativity and hard work,” said Ms. Jennifer Gordinier, Pine Crest Head of Science Research.
Congratulations to all!
