معرفی
Adam J Williams is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology) at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. His research focuses on immune regulation in allergic diseases, particularly type 2 immune responses in the lung and gut, using genomics and single-cell technologies. He is affiliated with the Eisenbarth-Williams Lab, the Center for Human Immunobiology, and the Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics.
Education:
- BS: Cardiff University (2001)
- PhD: University College London (2006)
- Postdoctoral Fellow: Yale University, Department of Immunobiology (2012)
- Associate Research Scientist: Yale University, Department of Immunobiology (2014)
Dr. Williams’ research explores the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying allergic responses, with a focus on IgA immunity, TH2 cell differentiation, and mucosal immunology in asthma and food allergy. His lab utilizes both mouse models and human samples to uncover novel regulatory pathways in immune cells. His work integrates single-cell genomics, gene regulation, and RNA biology to understand immune system dynamics at high resolution.
His recent publications reveal trends in mucosal immunity, particularly the role of IgA+ plasma cells, lymph node microniches in TH2 development, and metabolic regulation in gut immunity. These studies highlight his focus on translational immunology and the molecular basis of allergic diseases.
Professional Service:
- Member, General Council, Autumn Immunology Conference (2024–Present)
- Session Chair, Autumn Immunology Conference (2023–2024)
- Poster Evaluator, New England Immunology Conference (2019)
- Member, The American Association of Immunologists (2023–Present)
- Member, Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (2023–Present)
