Nicole A. Wilson, Ph.D., M.D. serves as a faculty member at the University of Rochester Medical Center within the departments of General Surgery, Pediatrics, and Surgery. She practices at Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester, NY, specializing in pediatric surgical care with clinical expertise in pediatric general/thoracic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and congenital neonatal diseases.
Her research program focuses on computational imaging, 3D modeling, biomechanics, and medical device development through the Pediatric Surgery Structure-Function Laboratory. Current research examines the intersection of social determinants of health with pediatric surgical outcomes, machine learning applications in trauma activation systems, and novel imaging technologies for procedural guidance.
Dr. Wilson's publication portfolio demonstrates strong emphasis on healthcare disparities, with recent work analyzing neighborhood deprivation impacts on child abuse severity, gastrostomy utilization patterns, and kidney transplant outcomes. Her engineering background informs translational projects including photoacoustic imaging for gastric tube placement and adhesion prevention pharmacotherapies.
