Anna M. Rosenhauer, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Under the direction of Dr. Tanja Jovanovic at the Detroit Trauma Project, Anna oversees research projects exploring physiological responses to trauma. Current projects include a longitudinal study investigating intergenerational impacts of trauma including biomarkers of sexual trauma exposure in extracellular vesicles and fear-conditioning along with transdiagnostic dissociative symptoms. She is investigating attachment within the therapy relationship during dissociative disorder treatment and is developing a project exploring meaning-making of traumatic experiences in individuals with DID.
Dr. Rosenhauer completed her doctoral training in Neuroscience at Georgia State University with Dr. Kim Huhman published findings demonstrating long-term consequences of early stress experience on the stress neural circuitry and how BDNF contributes to resilience. She also served as a postdoctoral researcher at Kennesaw State University with Dr. Ebony Glover exploring the impact of female ovarian hormones on fear conditioning, trauma exposure, and PTSD. Sought-after as a speaker integrating neuroscience with clinical understandings of dissociation due to her unique perspective on dissociative disorders, she is passionate about explaining scientific research to dissociative trauma survivors and clinicians who treat them and advocates for lived experience and clinical wisdom inclusion in research. Active in professional associations including the ISSTS, Dr. Rosenhauer enjoys providing instruction and mentorship to future psychologists-in-training. She has been awarded numerous fellowships and honors including the Alies Muskin CDLP Award and Honeycutt Fellowship and is proud to be an active BRAINS fellow dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion within neuroscience. She was recently awarded an NIH Diversity Supplement to train in novel neuroscience techniques used to identify biomarkers of trauma response for use in her future research with dissociative disorders.
