Head shot of Jennifer Rosser

Overview

Dr. Rosser is the PI of the Cohort Core of the INCLUDE DS-4C coordinating center. She leads the Down syndrome research studies at Emory. She also helps with human subjects' issues to ensure that a research participant's privacy and identity are protected.

Academic Appointment

  • Assistant Professor, Department of Human Genetics, Emory University

Education

Degrees

  • PhD from Duke University
  • BS from University of Georgia

Research

Focus

  • My research focus is on Down syndrome and the medical problems associated with Down syndrome. Currently our main focus is on congenital heart problems specifically atrioventricular septal defects. I also coordinate our cognition in DS study at six sites across the US where we are investigating how children with DS learn and process information.
