Soraya Williams

Overview

Soraya Williams is a Researcher at Loughborough University in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. She holds a BSc and MSc in Biomedical Sciences from Plymouth University and completed a PhD through the Regenerative Medicine Centre of Doctoral Training Programme at Loughborough University, collaborating with Nottingham University and Keele University. Her PhD focused on optimizing processes for extracellular vesicle (EV) expansion, harvest, and isolation. Currently, she works as a Research Assistant under Dr. Owen Davies, focusing on EV applications in regenerative aesthetics with a private funder.

Research Interests

Her work centers on extracellular vesicles for regenerative medicine, particularly in dermatology and bone/muscle regeneration. Key areas include EV isolation methodologies, therapeutic applications, and epigenetic modulation of EV efficacy. She has contributed to standardization frameworks like MISEV2023 and explored biomaterial integration for enhanced tissue repair.

Publications Trends

Her publications emphasize EV isolation techniques, clinical applications in paediatrics, and translational strategies for regenerative therapies. Recent work addresses challenges in EV characterization and large-scale production for translational medicine.

Awards & Grants

No specific awards are listed, though her PhD training was supported by EPSRC/MRC funding. Current research is privately funded.

Advising & Labs

Collaborates with industry partners and academic institutions. Her lab focuses on translational EV research in sports medicine and aesthetic applications.
