Adai Colom Diego

Adai Colom Diego is a Ramón y Cajal Fellow and Ikerbasque Research Fellow at the Biofisika Institute, a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (EHU). He leads the Cell Membrane Organisation and Dynamics Laboratory, focusing on the physical principles governing cell membranes.

Research Interests: His work lies at the intersection of biophysics and cell biology, particularly in understanding membrane organization, dynamics, and trafficking. He employs and develops advanced imaging techniques, including High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy (HS-AFM), to study membrane processes at high resolution.

Education and Training:

• Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Institut Curie and Aix-Marseille University, France
• Postdoctoral Research, University of Geneva, Switzerland, under Dr. Aurélien Roux

Scientific Awards:

• Ikerbasque Fellowship
• Ramón y Cajal Fellowship

Advising and Grants: As an independent fellow, Adai Colom leads his own research group and secures competitive funding through national and regional fellowships. While no formal students are listed, he likely mentors early-career researchers and trainees in his laboratory.

Laboratory and Research Team: He directs the Cell Membrane Organisation and Dynamics Laboratory at the Science Park of the University of the Basque Country in Leioa, Spain, where his team investigates the physical mechanisms underlying membrane behavior in cellular contexts.
