Dr. Wszolek's scientific interests are in the field of clinical genetics of neurodegenerative conditions. He has been instrumental in the discovery of the several genes in which the mutations produce the clinical signs of parkinsonism, dementia, dystonia, ataxia and others. He holds several patents for discoveries related to the genetics of parkinsonism. He served as a clinical core leader on the NIH-sponsored Mayo Clinic Florida Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Disease Research Center of Excellence from 1999 to 2018.

Dr. Wszolek has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals with over 600 publications (posted on PubMed.gov). He is a former co-editor-in-chief of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders and associate editor of European Journal of Neurology. He currently serves as co-editor-in-chief of Polish Journal of Neurology and Neurosurgery.

In recognition of his work, Dr. Wszolek has received many national and international awards and honors, including Swiss, Canadian, Indian, Polish, and Japanese awards. He is on the Thomson Reuters 2015 and 2016 lists of "The World's Most Influential Scientific Minds" and on the Clarivate Analytics list of "2017 Highly Cited Researchers." Dr. Wszolek also received an Honoris Causa Doctorate from the Medical University of Silesian and was recognized with the Distinguished Investigator Award and Team Science Award at Mayo Clinic.

In addition to his clinical and research activities, Dr. Wszolek is active in education and provides mentorship to multiple visiting scientists, special project associates and research fellows, among others. He is also a courtesy professor of neurology at the College of Medicine at the University of Florida Health Science Center.

Dr. Wszolek is a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology and the American Neurological Association, and he is a founding officer of the World Federation of Neurology and International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders. He has served on committees, including in leadership roles, for numerous professional organizations.
