Hi, I'm Adam Nelson πŸ‘‹

About Me

I'm a Principal Investigator of Neuroscience, specializing in computational biology and quantitative approaches to understanding mechanisms of action in the brain. I've established a successful research program studying the neural circuits underlying behavior and homeostasis, supported by NIH/NSF funding, with publications in Cell, eLife, and Journal of Gerontology.

I'm currently seeking new opportunities where I can apply my expertise in computational neuroscience and team leadership to directly impact patients living with disorders of the nervous system. I'm particularly excited by roles focused on identifying therapeutic targets and biomarkers and developing impactful medicines and diagnostics.

🧬 Research Interests

  • Neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavior and homeostasis
  • Translational neuroscience with focus on therapeutic target identification
  • Computational approaches to neurodegenerative disease and drug discovery

πŸ’» Coding & Technical Interests

  • Natural Language Processing - Text mining, literature analysis
  • Computer Vision - Image analysis, microscopy data processing
  • Bayesian & Frequentist Statistics - Statistical modeling, causal inference
  • Bioinformatics - Genomics, transcriptomics, multi-omics integration
  • Time Series Analysis - Neural dynamics, physiological signals
  • Machine Learning - Predictive modeling, feature extraction

πŸ”¬ Current Focus

I'm particularly interested in:

  • Applying computational methods to understand neurodegenerative diseases
  • Developing quantitative frameworks for drug target validation
  • Bridging academic research with translational medicine
