Biography
After graduating from the Medical School at the University of Michigan, Dr. David Rosenberg completed his general psychiatry residency and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinics at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). He completed a National Institute of Mental Health post-doctoral Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He then joined the faculty at UPMC, where he directed the Pediatric OCD Program and Pediatric Neurobehavioral Studies Program.
Dr. Rosenberg and his colleagues published the first textbook on pediatric psychopharmacology, Textbook of Pharmacotherapy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders. He was then recruited to Wayne State University to serve as Chief of Child Psychiatry and Director of the OCD Clinical Research Program. At the time, there was no research funding in child and adolescent psychiatry at Wayne State University. Under Dr. Rosenberg’s leadership, the child psychiatry division received over $30 million in grant funding and endowment. He has led a program ranked as one of the top 10 OCD programs in the world.
He currently serves as Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at Wayne State University, where he also directs the campus-wide Translational Neurosciences Initiative.
