Fernanda Rosa

Fernanda Rosa is an Assistant Professor at the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine, focusing on the intersection of veterinary oncology, immunology, and neonatal nutrition. Her research evaluates how bioactive molecules in neonatal diets influence immunity, metabolism, and health outcomes.

• Primary Affiliation: Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine
• Research Focus: Host-microbiota interactions, microRNA regulation in inflammation, and metabolomics in neonatal dietary models.

Her work utilizes in vitro systems and animal models (e.g., piglets, dairy calves) to identify diet-associated molecular markers like microRNAs. Recent publications highlight dietary impacts on gut microbiota, metabolomes, and immune responses, with applications in both veterinary and human health.

Key methodologies include fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for epigenetic analysis, transcriptional profiling, and phytochemical interventions in dairy livestock.
