Profile
Morika Williams is from Greensboro, North Carolina by way of Owego, New York. She earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Laboratory Animal Science and Animal Science from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. After graduating from undergraduate studies in 2010 with honors, she obtained her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine (NCSU CVM) in 2014. Following this, she completed the Research Triangle Laboratory Animal Medicine Residency Training Program in 2016. She then became board-certified in laboratory animal medicine by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine. Dr. Williams remained at NCSU CVM for her graduate studies, where she is currently a clinical scientist and PhD candidate in the Comparative Biomedical Science program, with a concentration in pharmacology.
Dr. Williams is a member of the Translational Research in Pain (TRiP) program, which is dedicated to answering critical questions about pain control and pain mechanisms through high quality, innovative research. The aim of her research is to better understand, recognize, and alleviate pain in the newborn to improve the quality of life in adulthood for both human and animals. Her research interests include the mechanisms of neurobiology and neurophysiology of pain processing, neonatal pain, chronic pain, degenerative joint disease, translational medicine, analgesics, and evoked and non-evoked pain assessments tools for laboratory and companion animals.
