Adriana Rosato, PhDFaculty Scientist III adriana.rosato@mainehealth.org Dr. Adriana Rosato is the Director of the Center for Molecular Medicine at Maine Health Institute for Research. She is a visiting Professor of Medicine at Tufts University, and ad-joint Professor of Pathology at the University of California, Riverside, CA. She is member of the Gulf Coast Consortia (GCC) Cluster for Antimicrobial Resistance (GCC AMR), member of American Society of Microbiology (ASM), and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. She has received multiple awards, including Faculty Award and Outstanding service as mentor of minorities. Dr. Rosato earned her MSc, and PhD at the University Paris XI, Pasteur Institute, Paris, France. She is an internationally recognized expert on molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance with emphasis in multi-drug resistant pathogens (MDR), clinical impact of resistance, and the molecular epidemiology and evolution of MDR, the host human response during MDR infections and in the effects of antimicrobials and immunotherapies (e.g. cancer) on the microbiome. Her works have been published extensively (> 60) . She is Editor in numerous journals of the ASM, former standing reviewer, ad-hoc of NIH and European Agencies in where her input has contributed to important funding decisions. |
