For a hs independent project I’d like to get involved in medical research. Im interested in neuro and oncology

Hopefully I will be able to work with someone who does research either dealing with neuroscience-brain disorders, cancer, memory, etc or oncology. I have been trying to contact nearby hospitals, universities, research centers but have not found a research lab willing to take a high school student. I’m thinking about trying to contact pharmaceutical companies such as schering plough that may allow me to get involved with some of their research or experiments/tests/clinical trials for drugs treating cancer or brain disorders-something along those lines. If anyone has any connections to someone in the NJ/NY area that may be able to help me, please let me know. Or if anyone has any ideas for an alternative independent project that would deal with medicine-let me know Thanks
