Tim Williams

Tim Williams is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on physiology, renal and endocrine systems, biomarkers, extracellular vesicles, proteins, and RNA. He investigates the potential of extracellular vesicles as biomarkers for renal diseases and their bactericidal activity in urinary tract disorders. His work explores the clinical significance of these vesicles in disease diagnosis and treatment. Williams' research integrates advanced techniques such as size exclusion chromatography and nanoparticle tracking analysis.

Tim Williams is a Professor of Veterinary Clinical Pathology at the University of Cambridge, specializing in extracellular vesicles, hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney disease, and clinical pathology. His research explores the role of extracellular vesicles in disease mechanisms, particularly in kidney function and inflammatory conditions. He investigates the impact of hyperthyroidism on renal health, including azotemia, survival rates, and calcium-phosphate homeostasis in cats. His work also examines biomarkers for chronic kidney disease, such as urinary exosomes and vascular endothelial growth factor. Williams has contributed to understanding the pathophysiology of hyperthyroidism and its association with iatrogenic hypothyroidism. His studies aim to improve diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies in veterinary medicine.
