About

Dr. Fabrisia Ambrosio is a leading researcher at the intersection of bioengineering and rehabilitation science, with a primary focus on developing innovative strategies for neural and musculoskeletal repair. Her work is particularly centered on enhancing recovery after stroke and traumatic muscle injury, where she explores how bioengineering solutions—ranging from advanced biomaterials to robotic training protocols—can augment traditional rehabilitation. A key contribution is her pioneering use of a murine model of robotic training to evaluate and optimize skeletal muscle recovery after injury, providing a reliable tool to monitor motor performance and deliver precise training regimens. This work, though early in its citation trajectory (with her 2013 review on bioengineering for stroke recovery garnering 23 citations), lays critical groundwork for translating preclinical insights into clinical practice. Dr. Ambrosio’s research is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, merging materials science, biomechanics, and neurobiology to address fundamental questions about tissue regeneration. Her findings hold promise for improving functional outcomes in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal deficits, positioning her as a rising voice in the field of regenerative rehabilitation.
