George Adams received his BSc in Biological sciences from the University of Central Lancashire with his research project focusing on apoptotic dysregulation in glioblastomas. This was followed by a MRes in Infection Biology at the University of Manchester, studying the role of Interferon beta on Macrophage activation during helminth infections.

In 2019 he joined the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Aerosol Science PhD programme at the University of Bristol. Here he trained in the fundamentals of aerosol science, interdisciplinary research and public engagement. This was followed by a 3-year project at the University of Manchester, focusing on the airborne particulates on epithelial and immune cell function.

After completion of his PhD, he moved to Kings College London to work in Dr Joana F Neves' laboratory, exploring the use of mucosal organoids to generate Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC) for future applications in research and in the clinical setting.
