Biography
Dr. Rosie Curiel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and faculty member of the Center on Aging. As a geriatric neuropsychologist, she has an expertise in the assessment of neurodegenerative conditions among elders. Dr. Curiel is Principal Investigator of a study entitled: Precision-based Computerized Assessment for the Detection of MCI in Older Adults, and is an active Co-investigator on various state and federally funded longitudinal Alzheimer’s disease studies including the 1Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.
Her program of research focuses on the development of novel and cross-culturally applicable cognitive assessment paradigms. She and her team have generated promising pilot data that these novel cognitive outcome measures are sensitive enough to detect subtle deficits specific to preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, and are highly associated with biological markers of early AD pathology. Her program of research focuses on technologically enhancing these innovative cognitive paradigms into user-friendly clinical outcome measures with the goal of advancing cognitive assessment efforts in clinical trials targeting preclinical AD. -

Teaching Interests
I am interested in teaching individuals throughout the broad spectrum of their academic trajectories, from undergraduate through post-doctoral fellowship and consider teaching to not only be an enjoyable duty to share knowledge, but also a privilege. I particularly enjoy teaching about psychopathology, and principals of neuropsychological assessment. In addition, I am highly interested in teaching about the evolving knowledge related to the functional neuroanatomy of the brain and have developed various curriculums to teach neuroanatomy to neuropsychologist in a manner that is palatable, easy to master, and useful to clinical practice. -
Research Interests
My research interests include the development of sensitive cognitive assessment paradigms and their translation into psychometric tests. My goal is to improve early detect efforts as related to preclinical neurodegeneration in diseases such as Alzheimer's. I am also interested in the integration of state-of-the-art technology such as virtual reality, voice recognition and machine learning in cognitive assessment. -
