Neurological Function, Gene Product Regulation, and Disease State in Adults Who Experience Neuropsychiatric Disease
Dr. Wilson’s research focuses on building descriptions of the relationships between neurological function, gene product regulation, and disease state in adults who experience neuropsychiatric disease. Neuropsychiatric diseases are complex, and their often-widespread impact on function can make treatment difficult. To get a better understanding of how particular neurological changes may be related to disease symptoms, Dr. Wilson uses artificial intelligence to consider multiple aspects of a patient’s status in combination, including transcriptomic and epigenomic data from various brain regions (which inform about how gene expression is regulated); anatomical data from various brain regions (which can show how cells may change or interact); and clinical data, such as neurological health measures and comorbidity records. By revealing new insights about how genetics, other cell-level changes, environmental factors, and disease progression influence each other in patient populations, this effort aims to ultimately highlight ways to improve therapeutic strategies for these diseases.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
