Ted Wilson, PhD, is the Provost’s Assistant Professor of Neuroimmunology and Brain Science in the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University. His research focuses on the cellular mechanisms that shape vulnerability and resilience in neurodegenerative disease. His laboratory integrates a range of experimental approaches to address three interconnected priorities: defining the cellular neurobiology underlying neurodegeneration, identifying new therapeutic targets, and developing biomarkers and diagnostic platforms to advance precision and personalized medicine.
Dr. Wilson earned his PhD in Neuroscience at McGill University, where he developed a foundation in molecular and cellular approaches to brain disease. He then pursued postdoctoral training at Stanford University, expanding his expertise in neuroinflammation, aging, and mechanisms of resilience to neurodegenerative pathology.
Dr. Wilson’s research program aims to bridge basic mechanistic insight with clinical translation, with the long-term goal of enabling earlier detection and intervention strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.
