MATLAB: How to find cell match in matlab table and exctract data from table

cell arraydata importgendertable

Let's say I have a table. And a cell array, with
names = {'Smith, 'Williams}
            Gender    Age    Smoker     BloodPressure 
                ______    ___    ______    _______________
    Smith       Male      38     true      124          93
    Johnson     Male      43     false     109          77
    Williams    Female    38     false     125          83
    Jones       Female    40     false     117          75
    Brown       Female    49     false     122          80
Now I would like to find the names match from the table and extract the values of other variables Gender, Age, Smoker, BloodPressure. I tried to use isfield, but this does not work and I am running out of ideas. I was plaaning to pull the row number and then all the column according to the row.
      if isfield(Table,Names);
      end
I tried finding

No explicit comparisons are necessary. It’s actually all in the documentation:
LastName = {'Smith';'Johnson';'Williams';'Jones';'Brown'};
Age = [38;43;38;40;49];
Height = [71;69;64;67;64];
Weight = [176;163;131;133;119];
BloodPressure = [124 93; 109 77; 125 83; 117 75; 122 80];
T = table(Age,Height,Weight,BloodPressure,...
    'RowNames',LastName);
names = {'Smith', 'Williams'};
T_result = T(names,:)                           % Get Data For Specific Patients
T_result = 
                Age    Height    Weight    BloodPressure
                ___    ______    ______    _____________
      Smith       38     71        176       124     93   
      Williams    38     64        131       125     83
