Overview

Gorazd Rosoklija is affiliated with Columbia University in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their research spans several subfields, including molecular biology, biological psychiatry, physiology, behavioral neuroscience, and developmental neuroscience.

The scientist's recent publications demonstrate a focus on advanced topics related to brain function, neurogenesis, and chromatin dynamics. Notable papers include:

  • Spatial epigenome-transcriptome co-profiling of mammalian tissues, 2023, Nature
  • Spatial profiling of chromatin accessibility in mouse and human tissues, 2022, Nature
  • COVID-19 induces CNS cytokine expression and loss of hippocampal neurogenesis, 2022, Brain
  • Altered adult neurogenesis and gliogenesis in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, 2022, Nature Neuroscience
  • A human brain map of mitochondrial respiratory capacity and diversity, 2025, Nature

The scientist's research addresses multiple core topics, including:

  • Tryptophan and brain disorders
  • Stress responses and cortisol
  • Neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms
  • Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics
  • Diet and metabolism studies
  • Genomics and chromatin dynamics
  • Long-term effects of COVID-19

Gorazd Rosoklija frequently collaborates with a number of co-authors, their most frequent collaborators including Andrew J. Dwork, J. John Mann, Maura Boldrini, Victoria Arango, and Hanga Galfalvy. This research network indicates a multidisciplinary approach within neuroscience and psychiatry.

Their papers are often published in well-known scientific venues, with a strong presence in Biological Psychiatry, Nature, SSRN Electronic Journal, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology.

Throughout their career, the scientist has accumulated significant work in neurobiology, particularly focusing on brain disorders related to molecular pathways, neuroplasticity, and the physiological impact of stress and disease states. This includes investigating mechanisms involved in hippocampal neurogenesis and gliogenesis, especially in the context of neurological diseases and brain injury.

Gorazd Rosoklija has been recognized as a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
