Updated Bio:
 
Dr. Elizabeth Wilcox is a clinician-scientist whose work integrates neuroscience research with
clinical care for patients with severe brain injury and critical illness. Her research focuses on
understanding and reducing long-term cognitive complications after intensive care unit (ICU)
admission, with particular emphasis on sleep disruption, glymphatic clearance, and
neurodegenerative processes.
 
Working with multidisciplinary teams, she leads studies using electrophysiology, MRI, and biomarker discovery to identify mechanisms of brain injury and inform targeted interventions that protect brain health and quality of life in ICU survivors. As Director of the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute at the University of Alberta, she fosters collaboration across basic science, clinical research, and community engagement, while supporting trainee development and building partnerships locally, nationally, and internationally.
