Assistant Teaching Professor, Northeastern’s Roux Institute
About
Dr. Michael Wilczek joined the Roux Institute at Northeastern University in August 2021 as a postdoctoral research and teaching fellow. Dr. Wilczek received his Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Maine. His dissertation focused on understanding how a human-specific virus could infect the central nervous system and cause a fatal disease using bioinformatics and complementary cell-based assays. At UMaine, he received numerous awards for his teaching, research, mentorship, and public service, including the Susan J. Hunter Teaching Fellowship, the Outstanding Service Award, and the Edith M. Patch Outstanding Ph.D. Student Award.
Dr. Wilczek’s current research areas are in observational health, generating and analyzing real-world evidence, and becoming better versed in bench-to-bedside research. In addition, he is interested in reimagining graduate education, using evidence-based teaching practices to improve graduate education and better prepare graduate students for either academia or industry post-degree.
Before his graduate study at UMaine, Dr. Wilczek worked at the New York State Health Department and volunteered in the Wadsworth Center at the Arbovirus Laboratory.
