Michelle D. Williams is a Professor of Pathology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Her research focuses on thyroid tumor biology, particularly the molecular characterization of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and RAS-driven follicular-derived cancers. She has led work on a prognostic thyrocyte-derived gene signature for papillary thyroid carcinoma and investigated neoadjuvant immunotherapy combinations for BRAF V600E-mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer. Her recent publications also address sinonasal mucosal melanoma treatment strategies and deceptive thyroid pathologies.
