OverviewAI-generated summary

David Williams, Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, has a research focus that spans multiple areas, including cardiovascular health, receptor mechanisms, and the application of imaging techniques. His work has involved the study of myocardial imaging, particularly with thallium-201, to assess coronary stenoses and compare these noninvasive methods with traditional arteriography and electrocardiography.

His research has also delved into the identification and characterization of various receptors and their endogenous ligands. This includes work on the human cysteinyl leukotriene 2 receptor, receptors for neuromedin U, and the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor GPR14, for which urotensin II was identified as the endogenous ligand. Sarafotoxin S6c has also been investigated for its role as an agonist distinguishing between endothelin receptor subtypes.

Williams' scholarship metrics indicate a significant body of work, with an h-index of 30, 110 total publications, and over 5,200 citations. He leads an active research group and has been recently active in research endeavors, with his most recent publication in 2026.
