Elie Adam

Background and Experience

Dr. Adam received his PhD from MIT in 2017 as an engineer and a mathematician, studying complex systems using pen-and-paper mathematics. He became an experimental neuroscientist in his postdoc training at MIT doing in-vivo experiments. Before joining HMS and MGH, he continued his postdoc at MIT to train in biophysical modeling to bridge theory and experiments, and in translational medical research to bridge fundamental research and clinical impact. Then, he was combining mathematics, engineering and experiments in rodents and monkeys to examine the effects of drugs on the brain, characterize and control states of unconsciousness, and track brain metabolism.
