Thad E. Wilson, Ph.D.,
Associate Professor of Physiology in the Department of
Biomedical Sciences |
|
|
 Dr. Wilson is an associate professor of
physiology in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and the Department of Specialty
Medicine. He received his doctorate from the University of Utah and completed
post-doctoral training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His Cutaneous Biology Laboratory focuses on the control and regulation of the sympathetic
nervous system with application to cutaneous diseases. He has specific expertise in
microneurography and microdialysis. His laboratory has previously been funded by the
NIH and the American Heart Association and is currently funded by the National Rosacea
Society and the American Osteopathic Association. He has published more than 60
scholarly articles. Dr. Wilson’s research centers on the neurologic mechanisms of
cutaneous (skin) disorders. Specifically, he is currently investigating the role of the
sympathetic nervous system and sweat gland responses in patients with hyperhydrosis
(excessive sweating) as well as rosacea. Additionally, Dr. Wilson maintains an
outstanding research program in environmental physiology, which has direct
relevance to worker health and safety. In this area, he is currently investigating the
effects of heat stress (e.g., hyperthermia) on reduced work performance and how these
interactive conditions can be optimized to improve workplace safety.

as such not all of the referenced articles were published by Dr. Wilson.)
