Her research activities focus on concussion and more severe traumatic brain injury, other acquired brain injuries such as stroke, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. She is an investigator in UT Southwestern’s Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute.

She has delivered numerous presentations and published many peer-reviewed academic articles and abstracts related to her areas of expertise.

Personal Note

When she’s not at work, Dr. Wilmoth enjoys making cross-country road trips to visit her family’s century-old rural cabin in the Virginia mountains, camping, and traveling internationally.
