THE PHYSIS APPROACH
SCIENCE MATTERS – A FOCUS ON HEALTH AND THERAPEUTIC DRUG ADAPTATION IN THE AREAS OF IMMUNE THERAPY AND PAIN
PHYSIS HAS A FOCUS ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, ITS ROLE IN MULTIPLE DISEASES AND THE MODULATION OF THIS SYTEM AS AN APPROACH TO THERAPY. ANCILLARY TO THIS FOCUS IS THE ROLE OF INFLAMMATION AND ITS ROLE IN DISEASE AND THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTOL OF PAIN/INFLAMMATION THROUGH THE DIRECT APPLICATION OF TRANSDERMAL THERAPEUTICS (A RISK REDUCTION APPROACH TO SYSTEMIC PAIN MODIFICATION).

Kenneth C. Williams, Ph.D.
Dr. Williams is Full Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Boston College. Dr. Williams’ work has centered on inflammation and normal and diseased states. This work includes, a) studies to define subpopulations of macrophages in the CNS and their precursors in blood and bone marrow, b) the role of the cellular immune system especially CD8 T cells controlling monocyte/macrophage activation and CNS pathogenesis, and c) developing drugs that target HIV and SIV infected/activated macrophages resulting in cell death or deactivation. In addition, we are exploring an exciting field of emergent populations of monocytes and dendritic cells that are expanded with disease. This work uses a monkey model of rapid, consistent AIDS and neuroAIDS, CD8 T lymphocyte depletion, MR spectroscopy, monocyte/macrophage biology and immunology. Dr. Williams has more than 18 years of experience in the field of inflammation and disease.
