Rebecca M. Williams is an Adjunct Professor at Cornell University, specializing in Biomedical Engineering and Stem Cell Biology. She serves as the director of Cornell's Biotechnology Resource Center's imaging core, where she ensures that researchers have optimal access to expertise and tools for visualizing and quantitatively analyzing experimental systems. Dr. Williams supports advanced microscopy stations and other imaging platforms while conducting numerous workshops to educate both students and researchers on fluorescence, imaging technologies, and image analysis visualization. Her research primarily focuses on applying cellularly-resolved imaging to tissue preparations and live animals, collaborating with researchers to develop imaging strategies that enhance the understanding of fundamental biophysical principles in cartilage and cancer biology. Specific research areas include the development of methods for three-dimensionally resolved oxygen imaging using adaptive optics to mitigate tissue-induced optical aberrations. As the director of Cornell's Microscopy Imaging Facility, she works to ensure that the facility meets the imaging needs of the Cornell research community.
