About Adam

Adam is a Ph.D. candidate in the Cell and Molecular Biology Program. He is using molecular approaches including next generation sequencing to understand how gene expression is controlled in stem cells. Specifically, Adam is investigating how stem cells utilize RNA methylation to maintain the pluripotent state and/or drive differentiation. When he is not at the bench, Adam enjoys playing football, soccer and golf in the summer and snowboarding/skiing in the winter.
