About Beth
Beth Wilcox, PhD, is a biomedical engineer specializing in musculoskeletal biomechanics with experience spanning sports performance and injuries, space and military applications, and medical devices and rehabilitation interventions.
Dr. Wilcox has conducted research across both industry and academia, most recently as a principal scientist of translational engineering at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, where she focused on surgical strategy and instrumentation. Prior to that, she led the team in the Human Performance Engineering Lab at Reebok (Adidas) in Boston, whose primary focus was to design and conduct biomechanical, mechanical, physiological, and sensory research studies to evaluate footwear, apparel, sports equipment, and wearable technologies.
Prior to joining Reebok, Dr. Wilcox was a clinical research scientist and instructor of orthopedics (research) in the Department of Orthopedic Research at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital, where she focused on sports injury, neuromotor rehabilitation, and bioinstrumentation. She obtained her PhD in biomedical engineering from Brown University in 2014, where her doctoral thesis was focused on the biomechanics of sport-related mild traumatic brain injury.
