Adam Xu

(he, him, his)

Cambridge, MA

I'm a junior at Brown and a scientist-in-training focused on accelerating the development of therapies for CNS and inflammatory disease. I aim to build scalable wet-lab and computational platforms that generate decision-grade evidence for discovery and early development.

This spring, I'm working on neuroimmunology at Sanofi's Immunology & Inflammation TA. Previously, I developed assay platforms for gene therapy delivery and disease rescue at Lilly Gene Therapy.

At school, I am an undergraduate research assistant in the Department of Neuroscience supervised by Alex Jaworski, where I study how spinal motor axons avoid inappropriate targets during neurodevelopment. I lead clinical research in ophthalmology and glaucoma diagnostics under Luis Vazquez at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.

I am also Managing Director of Brown Motion Pictures, a student organization at Brown that brings together student filmmakers to produce eight original short films a year.
