Prof Frances Williams

Professor of Genomic Epidemiology and Hon Consultant Rheumatologist, King's College London
I am a practising clinician with an interest in chronic pain doing genetic and omic epidemiology studies to try and understand the pathways involved in multiple chronic pain syndromes, including lower back pain.

Previously I was a Wellcome Trust Fellow with Twin Research, and I also practise musculoskeletal medicine, providing clinics in general rheumatology and metabolic bone disease. I am also interested in occupational conditions, and hold a monthly unique NHS clinic for musicians and performing artists with musculoskeletal complaints.
