Richard Adams

Richard Adams is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on early development and morphogenesis, specifically investigating the mechanisms that control and enact cell movements to create the form of the embryo. His work employs techniques such as microscopy, quantitative imaging, high-performance computing, and mathematical modelling. Adams is a University Lecturer in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience.

Richard J Adams is a researcher in developmental biology, focusing on morphogenesis, computational biology, microscopy, and neurulation. His work explores the mechanisms underlying developmental processes, including cell shape changes, tissue tectonics, and the role of mechanical forces in morphogenetic events. Adams investigates how cellular behaviors, such as cell migration and division, contribute to the formation of complex structures like the optic vesicle and notochord. His research also examines the interplay between cytoskeletal dynamics and supracellular organization during developmental processes. Through advanced imaging and computational approaches, he seeks to understand how these processes are regulated at the molecular and cellular levels.
