Great work to Stas and Erin!

AI is trained to spot warning signs in blood tests AI can spot patterns in the data from blood tests that can give an early warning of disease.

AI-enabled blood tests for early cancer detection! Thanks BBC for highlighting our work with Prof. Mijin Kim on this technology. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Detection of Estrogen Receptor Status in Breast Cancer Cytology Samples by an Optical Nanosensor Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based optical sensors are designed to detect the presence of the estrogen receptor on the surface of breast cancer cells. The engineered sensor is benchmarked in...

Excited to share our most recent paper, where we engineered an optical nanosensor to rapidly and accurately differentiate estrogen receptor status in patient breast cancer cytology samples! This was a great collaboration with MSKCC! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A little too real 😅

Amelia Ryan, a 4th year PhD student, stands in front of a “Congrats” balloon arrangement to celebrate her passing her candidacy exam.

This part of the job is the most fun! I’m very excited that 4th year PhD student Amelia Ryan passed her candidacy exam today! She did an excellent job presenting her plans to develop a multiplexed fluorescent nanosensor to study neurodegenerative diseases. Great job Amelia!

Seven scientists with white lab coats stand in front of a microscope in a lab. Several are wearing cool goggles, and all are holding their arms out in a cool pose.

A lot of new folks here, wow. If you don’t know my lab, check out our instagram page @williamsnanolab where the group posts some great weekly content, like this photo below.

We’re all ears!

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

As some advice for the new influx of bsky folks…
