Dr. Williams heads the Genome Stability Structural Biology Group within the Laboratory of Structural Biology at NIEHS. As a graduate student studying structure and function of the BRCA1 tumor suppressor, Dr. Williams became intensely interested in cellular responses to DNA damage. He earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry (2003) from the University of Alberta, Canada. He then completed his postdoctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, before joining NIEHS as a Tenure Track Principal investigator in November 2009.
