Associate Professor (A/Prof) Tania Crotti is a Medical Researcher and Education Specialist in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Science (SPBS), in the College of Health, Adelaide University. A/Prof Crotti works with Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidates and Supervisors across the University, while actively supervising Honours, MPhil and PhD candidates in her Fundamental, Clinical and Educational fields of research.
 A/Prof. Crotti was awarded a BHealthSci (Hons) in 1997 then worked as a Research Assistant in the Department of Pathology, The University of Adelaide. In 2002 she completed her PhD on "The mechanisms responsible for pathological bone remodelling in inflammatory conditions." (funded by a Dora Lush, NHMRC Scholarship). A/Prof. Crotti subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston USA 2003-2008. She was awarded a CJ Martin, NHMRC Fellowship to characterise the mechanisms regulating gene expression during osteoclast differentiation. In 2006 A/Prof. Crotti was awarded an American Arthritis Foundation Fellowship to investigate the role of cell-substrate interactions and genes associated with terminal osteoclast activation.
 A/Prof. Crotti returned to Adelaide in 2008 to continue her work in the field of Osteoimmunology. Her fundamental, clinical and translational research interests investigate the impact of disease and therapeutics on bone loss and pain. A/Prof Crotti also has a particular interest in the well being of others with work around the patient experience in people with Endometriosis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, adjunct therapy for Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the creation of community to support of Higher Degree Research (HDR) Candidates.
 
To support supervisors, PGCs and professional staff working with HDRs, A/Prof Crotti co-leads the HDR Supervision Community of Practice (HDR CoP) in the Adelaide University. A/Professor Crotti is a member of the SA Branch of the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Aust ralasia (HERDSA) and the Quality Postgraduate Research (QPR) 2026 Steering Committee.
In recognition of A/Prof. Crotti's contributions to undergraduate and postgraduate research training, A/Prof Crotti has received the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences Executive Dean’s Learning and Teaching Prize and Development Award (2013), a Beacon Award for Developing Coursework Students as Researchers and using Evidence-Based Practice (2017), Adelaide Medical School (AMS) Higher Degree Research (HDR) Award (2018), an Executive Deans Award for Teaching Excellence (FHMS) (2022) and in 2024, received the University of Adelaides prestigious Stephen Cole the Elder Award for Excellence in HDR Supervisory Practice. Her leadership and mentorship in postgraduate education and supervisor training has been recognised by the Australian Council of Graduate Research (ACGR) Excellence in Graduate Leadership Award (2023) and her role as a mentor in the Asia Pacific Women in Leadership (APWiL) program (2023/24).

Associate Professor (A/Prof) Crotti BchHlthSci (Hons), PhD, SF HEA leads the Bone and Joint Osteoimmunology Laboratory in projects to understand the cell biology and pathological processes involved inflammation-induced bone loss (Osteoimmunology). Through ongoing collaborations with scientific and clinical researchers, the laboratory's work takes a holistic approach to understanding the impacts of disease and treatment on the musculoskeletal system and pain in pre-clinical and clinical models. 

In collaboration with linguistic and clinical experts, A/Prof Crotti's interest in pain and well-being use qualitative and linguistics analysis to improve communication the clinical setting and medical education as well as the role of adjunct therapies in supporting the well being of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

As an educator active in the Scholarship of Learning and Teaching (SoTL), A/Prof Crotti Co-leads Higher Degree Research (HDR) Supervisor Community of Practice (HDR CoP).  Workshops and projects such as "The importance of community in the HDR experience" and "Placing the HDR student at the centre" have been supported by Learning and Teaching Advancement Grants, The University of Adelaide  (2023, 2025), and HERDSA SA Branch Grants with findings and expertise shared by publications in The Thesis Whisperer,  THE Campus, Times Higher Education, presentations at the biennial Quality Postgraduate Research (QPR) conference and invited webinars on "The establishment of a HDR Supervision CoP" to the  Australia Council of Postgraduate Research members and  "Sustaining a CoP through times of change" to the national Social Learning Leaders Network group.
