Graduating in General Medicine in Bucharest, Roxanna has since enjoyed a rewarding medical career, now dedicating her time to medical education.

She has also acted as the Chair of the Steering Committee for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology at the University of Southampton, a Home Office Licensed Teacher of Anatomy and a Member of the British Neuropathological Society Academic Committee. Researching into Dementia, Roxana has developed revolutionary concepts that demonstrate how soluble amyloid (believed to contribute to Dementia) is eliminated from the brain along membranes within the walls of cerebral capillaries and arteries. In recognition of her research into dementia, Roxana has been the recipient of the Dementia Leader Award and Venus Influential Woman of the Year 2016.

A medically qualified professor, Roxana is now a popular speaker for a range of corporate events, focussing on the diversity of the human mind. Researching into Dementia, Roxana is increasing awareness of the medical condition and ensuring those who suffer from the condition are supported in society. Specialising in experimental neuropathology, anatomy and medical education, Roxana pushes the importance of research into Dementia, with current treatments having little to no effect on the progression of the disease.
