Ellen M. Adams works at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and biology, using tools like terahertz spectroscopy and live-cell microscopy to study how water and proteins interact, how biomolecular condensates (liquid-like droplets formed by proteins) form and are regulated, and how cells change shape and behavior during processes like development. Her work spans fundamental physical chemistry of water/proton transport and more applied biophysics of stem-cell-derived tissue models. This combination suggests a lab bridging spectroscopic/biophysical methods with cell biology applications.
