معرفی
Levi Adams is an Assistant in Instruction/Lecturer in the Biology Department at Bates College. He holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Central Florida. His research focuses on how aging affects the brain and contributes to neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Using techniques such as single-nuclei multiomic analysis and epigenomic editing, he investigates gene regulation changes during aging and identifies novel cellular markers linked to disease risk. Adams previously worked in culinary arts before transitioning to biology, bringing a unique interdisciplinary perspective to his research.
