About Joseph Fetta

Dr. Fetta’s current research involves the use of a computerized communication and notification system to improve the efficiency. His focus is on developing interdisciplinary teams to implement novel, evidence based RTL strategies for student athletes who have suffered a concussion.

Dr. Fetta’s resarch experience, as well as academic training, has provided him many opportunities to learn and gain skills in many aspects of the nursing discipline. He has worked on various interdisciplinary teams on concussion research. He has genomic and biomarker focused research in an NIH laboratory with the National Institute for Nursing Research in Bethesda, Maryland. He has worked as a research coordinator on a project focused microbiome composition and impact on cancer-related pain and fatigue. He has had the opportunity to design and direct multiple research studies on college students with recent sport and recreation related concussion (SRRC). He has made numerous interdisciplinary connections and gained valuable mentors from the Korey Stringer Institute in the Department of Kinesiology at UConn. These connections and the experience from the various projects he has been a part of will continue to aide and guide his research endeavors as he achieves independence following current postdoctoral training.
