Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

David K. Wilson's research group focuses on the study of pediatric gliomas and sickle cell disease. His recent work includes investigations into targeted inhibition strategies for pediatric gliomas with MET and ALK alterations, examining objective responses and subsequent treatment resistance.

In parallel, Wilson's group is exploring the health implications of sickle cell disease in children. This includes research on the impact of parental adverse childhood experiences on healthcare utilization among children with sickle cell disease, as well as multimodal neuroimaging and neurocognitive assessments in adolescents with and without the condition. He also has publications related to rare pediatric oncological presentations, such as germinoma mimicking optic pathway glioma, and neonatal Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Wilson's scholarly output is marked by a h-index of 35 and over 3,700 citations across 119 publications. He has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Murat Gökden, Kevin Bielamowicz, Eylem Öcal, and Sateesh Jayappa, with whom he shares multiple publications.
