About Tracy M Centanni Rosen
Dr. Centanni Rosen is the Director of the Genetics of Auditory and visual Perception and Plasticity (GAPP) Lab. Her research program focuses on the genetic and neural correlates of auditory and visual perception with a focus on music and human communication, reading acquisition, factors that drive reading disorders (e.g., dyslexia), and neural plasticity including using non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation to improve reading and language.
She received her Ph.D. in 2013 from the University of Texas at Dallas, using rat models to probe the influence of dyslexia-candidate genes on auditory perception. She then completed postdoctoral training at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and at MIT, with the goal of learning translational and clinically relevant research methods. The GAPP Lab was established at Texas Christian University in 2017, and moved to UF in summer 2023.
