Patrick Wilson

Patrick B. Wilson is a research fellow at the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory focusing on sport- and health-related nutrition. Dr. Wilson has a Bachelor’s degree in dietetics and is credentialed as a Registered Dietitian. He earned a Ph.D. in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota, where he also took substantial coursework and received training in the areas of public health and epidemiology. Prior to earning his doctorate, he spent a year at the Mayo Clinic gaining substantial expertise in the realms of clinical and community nutrition. Dr. Wilson’s research interests include: 1) enhancement of sport performance through changes in diet and supplementation; 2) augmentation of recovery from sport injury and medical events through dietary strategies; and 3) understanding the long-term health issues of athletes and their relationships with lifestyle. In addition to his research, Dr. Wilson is passionate about education and has taught coursework in several areas, including health and wellness and sport nutrition.
