Ryan M. Williams

Ryan M. Williams serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Grove School of Engineering, City University of New York (CUNY). His office is located in Steinman Hall, Room 403D, with contact details including phone 212-650-5209 and email rwilliams4@ccny.cuny.edu.

Dr. Williams' research centers on Nanomedicine with specialized expertise in Kidney Disease, Cancer, and Biosensors. His work pioneers optical nanosensors for biomarker detection and mesoscale nanoparticles for kidney-targeted drug delivery. Key contributions include nanoscale tools for estrogen receptor status determination in breast cancer, cytokine monitoring in inflammatory diseases, and nanoparticle therapies for polycystic kidney disease and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a dominant focus on kidney-targeted nanotherapeutics and optical biosensing for clinical diagnostics. His research bridges nanotechnology with nephrology and oncology, emphasizing non-invasive monitoring systems like hydrogel-nanosensor hybrids for chemotherapy tracking and cytokine detection. A consistent theme involves engineering nanoscale specificity for renal applications while developing cancer diagnostic platforms with clinical translation potential.
