Mark Thomas Shaw Williams

Dr. Mark Williams is a Researcher affiliated with Prof Chris Halsey in the School of Cancer Sciences at the University of Glasgow. His work spans multiple disciplines including cancer research, immunology, and cystic fibrosis studies, with a particular focus on hematological malignancies and respiratory diseases.

Dr. Williams' primary research interests include:

• Cancer biology, particularly multiple myeloma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia
• Mechanisms of central nervous system infiltration by cancer cells
• Cystic fibrosis pathophysiology and airway epithelial cell biology
• Immunological aspects of cancer and respiratory diseases
• Molecular mechanisms underlying bone disease in myeloma

His research trajectory shows a consistent focus on molecular mechanisms in disease processes, with early work on cystic fibrosis and leukemia CNS infiltration evolving into more recent studies on myeloma bone disease and 3D chromosomal architecture. His publications demonstrate expertise in cellular and molecular techniques, including cell culture models, analysis of patient samples, and pre-clinical disease models across both cancer and respiratory disease contexts.

Dr. Williams has maintained active research collaborations across disciplines, working with immunologists, hematologists, and respiratory specialists. His work on multi-student research projects indicates engagement in academic education at the master's level, contributing to pedagogical development alongside his research activities.
