FAMU Scientist Makes History with Coveted Lecture Appointment
Henry Neal Williams is an internationally known microbiologist, specializing in microbial ecology and infection control in dentistry. After spending a 37-year-career at the University of Maryland-Baltimore that took him from a laboratory scientist post to a doctorate in microbiology and ultimately, a post as assistant vice president for research, he is currently a professor and researcher at Florida A&M University’s School of the Environment.

The 2016-2018 class includes scientists from Smith College, Boston University’s School of Medicine, Ohio State University, the University of Texas, and others.
