Adama has a background in Medical Sciences and Cardiac Imaging. Her research is funded by the British Heart Foundation and sits at the intersection of cardiovascular imaging and cerebrovascular neuroscience.

Her thesis focuses on identifying the associations between imaging derived phenotypes from cardiac MRI (Magnetic resonance Imaging) and cerebrovascular diseases with a focus in white matter hyperintensities and cerebral microbleeds.

She is a PhD student at University College London(UCL) with the Faculty of Population Health Sciences. She was awarded the UCL Bogue Fellowship where she collaborated with the Tcheandjieu lab at the Gladstone institutes in San Francisco linking cardiovascular genetics with her imaging work.
