Adam R. Abate

Adam R. Abate is an American biologist, bioengineer, physicist, and educator, currently Associate Professor in Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at University of California San Francisco (UCSF). His research interests include microfluidics, droplet-based microfluidics, soft-condensed matter physics, granular physics, microparticle synthesis, emulsification, bioengineering, drug encapsulation, high-throughput screening, directed evolution, and sequencing.

Abate graduated from Harvard College in 2002 with an A. B. in Physics. He then received his Master's degree in Physics from University of California, Los Angeles, in 2004 and his Ph.D. in "Physics of Soft Materials" from University of Pennsylvania in 2006. 

He returned to Harvard for a postdoc in Physics and Engineering in the lab of David Weitz, working on a variety of projects in soft matter physics, chemical and microparticle synthesis, and biological applications of microfluidics. While a postdoc, he developed a droplet-based microfluidic sequencer that became the foundation for the sequencing company GnuBIO. 

Abate is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Francisco in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences (BTS) in the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy. He is in QB3 and part of the UC Berkeley-UCSF Graduate Program in Bioengineering, PSPG, and iPQB. His research interests are in high-throughput biology with microfluidics, protein engineering through directed evolution, and biophysics.
