The lab aims to design and translate nanomedicines relating to targets in inflammatory disease processes. Specifically, we are developing kidney-targeted polymeric nanoparticles as therapeutic tools for renal diseases and implantable optical nanosensor devices as diagnostic tools for cancer and other inflammation-driver diseases. The three primary facets of each project are 1) engineer and characterize novel materials, 2) use nanomaterials to address biological questions, and 3) translate nanomaterials to the clinic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccny.cuny.edu\/\">The City College of New York<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccny.cuny.edu\/engineering\">Grove School of Engineering<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccny.cuny.edu\/bme\">Department of Biomedical Engineering<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccny.cuny.edu\/bme\/nano\">Nanotechnology and Biomaterials Research in BME<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gc.cuny.edu\/Page-Elements\/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives\/Doctoral-Programs\/Chemistry\">CUNY Graduate Center PhD Program in Chemistry<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/asrc.gc.cuny.edu\/nanoscience\">CUNY ASRC Nanoscience Initiative<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/williamslab.ccny.cuny.edu\/?page_id=27\">Williams Lab Research<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Williams Immune Nanomedicine Lab is in the Biomedical Engineering Department of the Grove School of Engineering at the City College of New York.
