Barry Philip Rosen (born June 18, 1944) is an American biochemist, molecular biologist, and academic.[1] He is currently a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the Florida International University (FIU) Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, having previously served as the long-term Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Wayne State University School of Medicine.[1] His research focuses primarily on the mechanisms of arsenic resistance, transport, and biotransformations.[2]
Education and early career
Rosen was born in Hartford, Connecticut. He attended Trinity College in Hartford, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1965. He pursued graduate studies at the University of Connecticut, completing a Master of Science in biochemistry in 1968 and a PhD in biochemistry in 1969. Following his doctorate, he completed a Public Health Service NIH Fellowship at Cornell University under the mentorship of Leon Heppel from 1969 to 1971.
In 1972, Rosen joined the faculty of the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he advanced from Assistant Professor to Full Professor. From 1979 to 1981, he held concurrent appointments as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Microbiology at Okayama University in Japan and the Department of Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine.
Academic leadership
In 1987, Rosen moved to the Wayne State University School of Medicine, where he was appointed Distinguished Professor and served as Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for 22 years. He retired from Wayne State University in 2009 as Distinguished Professor Emeritus.
In 2009, Rosen joined the newly founded Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine at Florida International University, serving as the Associate Dean for Basic Science Research and Graduate Studies until 2016.[1] In 2016, he was appointed Distinguished University Professor, later transitioning to Professor Emeritus status.[1] Throughout his academic career, Rosen mentored 22 doctoral students, 55 postdoctoral associates, and numerous visiting scholars.
Research and publications
Rosen's research has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) since 1972. In 1984, he received his first NIH R01 grant to investigate the mechanisms of arsenic resistance, transport, and biotransformations. This research trajectory remained continuously funded for over 40 years through multiple R01 grants, an NIH MERIT Award, and an NIH Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA) concluding in 2025, within the 100 longest continuously funded projects by NIH.
He has published nearly 400 research articles, reviews, and books.[3] His extensive contributions span peer-reviewed journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and the Journal of Bacteriology.[3] According to Google Scholar, his work has accumulated over 41,000 citations, with an h-index of 115.[2] He has also been designated a Highly Ranked Scholar by tracking analytics, placing among the top 0.05% of global investigators.[4]
Professional service and honors
Rosen holds 11 patents related to his biochemical discoveries. He has served on numerous grant review panels for the NIH and NSF, and spent 10 years on the editorial board of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, alongside editorial service for Microbiological Reviews and the Journal of Bacteriology. He is a past President of the Association of Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry.
