William's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of organ injury in hemolytic disorders and developing novel therapeutic interventions. Through collaborations with multidisciplinary teams in the United States and Ghana, he investigates heme-induced signaling pathways in the kidney and brain. His work utilizes human studies, 2D and 3D cell culture platforms, and humanized murine models integrated with high-throughput omics-based techniques to identify therapeutic… More on ORCID
