Roberto received his bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in June 1993 from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus; his first Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Human Anatomy in June 1999 at the Universidad Central del Caribe in Bayamón, Puerto Rico; and his second Masters in Physical Therapy in April, 2007 from Florida Gulf Coast University. He moved to the United States in August 2001. He is a current member of the American Association of Anatomy, the Human Anatomy & Physiology Society and the American Physical Therapy Association. He also served as a member for the Board of Anatomical Donations of Puerto Rico for almost three years. Professor López-Rosado has taught Histology, Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy to undergraduates, graduate students and medical students and became involved in the dissection of cadavers since 1993. He is currently planning to apply for admission to the transitional Doctorate in Physical Therapy Program offered at Sage College in New York. His current teaching responsibilities in the Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy Programs involve teaching Gross Anatomy, Neuroscience, co-facilitating the Movement Science course series, and dissecting the cadaver and tissues for our laboratories. He has been involved in biomedical research in the area of neurochemistry while he worked for the Caribbean Institute of Neurobiology in San Juan, Puerto Rico. His latest research includes a study on self-efficacy in patients with Parkinson's Disease, which was accepted for a poster session at the World Physical Therapy Conference in Vancouver, BC.
