BIO
Agostina Casamento-Moran, Ph.D. is a neuroscientist dedicated to transforming how fatigue is understood, diagnosed, and treated. Originally from Argentina, she came to the U.S. as an NCAA tennis student-athlete, an experience that shaped her resilience, curiosity, and commitment to teamwork. She now applies that same drive to addressing one of healthcare’s most prevalent yet poorly understood problems: fatigue.
Dr. Casamento-Moran earned her Ph.D. in Biobehavioral Sciences at the University of Florida, investigating the behavioral and neuromuscular mechanisms of motor function in health and disease. As a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, she expanded her expertise to non-invasive brain stimulation, neuroimaging, and decision neuroscience, leading to a novel framework that defines fatigue as a multidimensional phenomenon, with distinct features, each driven by unique neurobiological mechanisms. Supported by NINDS and the DeLuca Foundation, her research combines neuroscience, physiology, and patient-centered approaches to decode fatigue in health, Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other conditions.
Equally passionate about mentorship and translational science, Dr. Casamento-Moran fosters a collaborative, inclusive lab culture where diverse perspectives drive discovery. Partnering with scientists, clinicians, engineers, and patients, she works to translate research into targeted interventions that improve quality of life for those living with fatigue.
