Research FellowResearch interests
Dr Patrice Rosengrave is involved with a pilot study in the Christchurch Intensive Care Unit looking at the effects of intravenous vitamin C administration in in severe sepsis.
She was awarded a CMRF grant in 2017 to investigate the effects of vitamin C on quality of life outcomes in survivors of sepsis.
Dr Rosengrave has completed a Marsden Fast-Start project which investigated how male chinook salmon adjust sperm quality in response to social status.
Research expertise
Vitamin C, post-copulation sexual selection, cryptic female choice, sperm competition, evolutionary reproductive biology, behavioural ecology, and evolutionary proteomics.
Teaching responsibilities
Lecturing pathophysiology in Nursing Science courses:
- NURS444
- NURS427
