Biography

Dr. Rosellini is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and School of Public Health. He also holds an adjunct appointment in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, where he was previously a Research Assistant Professor (2016-2022).

Dr. Rosellini studies the etiology and course of anxiety and mood disorders – also known as internalizing psychopathology. His research uses a combination of clinical psychological and epidemiologic methods to:
(1) Identify and understand the emotional, psychological, and environmental factors (e.g., personality, emotion regulation, stress, trauma) associated with the development and persistence of internalizing psychopathology.
(2) Develop clinically-usefully risk tools that optimally predict the onset, severity, course, and treatment response of internalizing psychopathology and associated behavioral outcomes (e.g., suicide).
(3) Improve clinical assessment, diagnosis, and classification

Dr. Rosellini received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Boston University. He previously worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, where he also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in psychiatric epidemiology.
