In the Spring 2025 Robbins College Dean's Distinguished Lecture, Fabrisia Ambrosio, PhD, MPT will present, "Regenerative Rehabilitation: From principles to possibilites."


ABOUT DR. FABRISIA AMBROSIO

Fabrisia Ambrosio, PhD, MPT is the Atlantic Charter Director of the Discovery Center for Musculoskeletal Recovery at the Schoen Adams Research Institute. She is also an associate professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Ambrosio’s research has the long-term goal of developing innovative approaches to improve tissue healing and functional recovery. Her translationally-oriented laboratory investigates underlying mechanisms by which mechanical signals can be used to enhance endogenous and/or donor stem cell function after injury or in the setting of disease. Dr. Ambrosio has published and recorded several educational modules on the topic of Regenerative Rehabilitation—the integration of regenerative medicine with rehabilitation science—and has assumed international leadership roles in several work group efforts to promote the field. She is the lead director of the Alliance for Regenerative Rehabilitation Research & Training (AR3T), an NIH-funded center that supports the expansion of scientific knowledge, expertise, and methodologies across the domains of rehabilitation science and regenerative medicine. Dr. Ambrosio is also the Founding Course Director of the Annual International Symposium on Regenerative Rehabilitation and the Founding Director of the International Consortium for Regenerative Rehabilitation, which includes 16 partnering institutions representing North America, Europe, and Asia. In 2022, she was inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows, “for outstanding contributions to the field of Regenerative Rehabilitation, integrating applied biophysics and cellular therapeutics to optimize tissue function.”
