Currently, Dr. Rosa-Caldwell is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Rosa-Caldwell’s research investigates musculoskeletal alterations across muscle pathologies and potential sex differences in response to muscle pathologies. She is currently the PI on NASA Research Opportunities in Space Biology Post-Doctoral Fellowship, investigating how biological sex may influence musculoskeletal alterations during exposure to micro- and partial-gravity environments. This project will help optimize astronaut health and performance for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Dr. Rosa-Caldwell currently has over 25 publications in the field of muscle biology and is an active member of the American College of Sports Medicine and American Physiological Society.
