Rosemary Bassey

Dr. Rosemary Bassey is an Associate Professor of Science Education at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. She holds a PhD and MSc, focusing on interdisciplinary research bridging neuroscience, medical education, and pharmacology. Her work spans neuroprotective mechanisms of plant extracts, behavioral neuroscience, and anatomy curriculum development. Key research areas include seizure modulation, stress resilience, and innovative medical pedagogy.

Education: PhD and MSc (specific institutions not specified).

Research Interests: Neuropharmacology of plant extracts, medical education innovation, stress and addiction neurobiology, histological staining techniques, and integrated physiology curricula. Her studies often involve preclinical models to explore seizure mechanisms, anxiety disorders, and drug-seeking behaviors.

Publications Overview: Recent work emphasizes plant-based therapies for neurological conditions and anatomy education strategies. Notable studies include Tetrapleura tetraptera's anticonvulsant effects and cadaveric prosection techniques for medical training. Earlier work explored nicotine's developmental impacts and HIV-substance abuse correlations.
