Susanna Rosi

Susanna Rosi, PhD, is an Adjunct Professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). She holds a BS (1995) and PhD (2000) in Biological Sciences from the University of Florence, Italy, followed by postdoctoral training in Pharmacology (2000–2001) and Psychology (2002–2006) at the University of Arizona. Her research focuses on neuroinflammation, traumatic brain injury, and the cognitive impacts of therapeutic irradiation and space radiation. Her work explores innate immune responses, synaptic plasticity, and mechanisms underlying memory deficits post-injury.

Research Interests include: Neuroinflammation mechanisms, traumatic brain injury pathophysiology, radiation-induced cognitive decline, and microglia/macrophage dynamics. She investigates therapeutic strategies targeting inflammatory pathways and neuroprotective interventions for brain injury.

Recent articles highlight her work on metabolic imaging in brain injury, neuroimmunology bottlenecks, and translational neurotrauma outcomes. Her studies often integrate preclinical models to address space radiation effects, stem cell therapies, and cognitive biomarkers.

Advising and grants: No specific grants or advisee records are provided in the data. Collaborations likely involve interdisciplinary teams studying neuroscience and radiation biology.
