Jo Ellen Wilson, MD, PhD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Her academic work focuses on neuropsychiatric conditions in critically ill populations, particularly catatonia and delirium. She holds advanced degrees including a medical doctorate, doctoral research, and a master’s in public health.
Research interests center on diagnostic criteria development for catatonia, neuropsychological outcomes post-critical illness, and cholinergic system dysfunction in neurodegenerative conditions. Her work emphasizes translating clinical findings into actionable care pathways, including the development of pediatric catatonia assessment tools.
Publications from 2024-2025 highlight advancements in virtual catatonia assessment, antipsychotic medication efficacy in ICU settings, and longitudinal studies on white matter changes in Alzheimer’s disease. Ongoing investigations explore genetic (APOE ε4) and sex-based differences in neurological outcomes.
No formal academic awards are listed, though her research contributes to critical care psychiatry guidelines. Clinical mentorship under Dr. Wes Ely underscores her commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration in critical illness neurology.
