Zoë Adams recently completed her Ph.D. in the lab of Philip Dawson at Scripps Research Institute. Zoë received her B.S. in Chemical Biology from the University of California at Berkeley where she worked in the Matthew Francis lab, developing a screening system for selective metal chelating peptoid sequences. During her time in the Dawson lab, she has pursued structural and kinetic characterization and biological applications of extended peptides. These have included both diyne-braced peptide macrocycles and hydrogel competent peptides.
