“Single cell immunophenotyping reveals novel mechanisms of human atherosclerosis”

Dr. Chiara Giannarelli received her MD from the University of Pisa, Italy in 1999. She undertook residency and specialty training and completed her PhD from the University of Pisa. In 2008, she moved to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine where she completed her research training cardiovascular disease. In 2012, she was recruited as Instructor of Medicine, Cardiology and in 2014 she was promoted to Assistant Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She is also an Assistant Professor of Genetics and Genomic Science and she holds a Scientific Faculty Appointment at the Precision Immunology Institute. The Giannarelli laboratory integrate systems pharmacology and systems genetics with molecular biology and imaging to reveal new mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Giannarelli is the first to identify the single-cell immune composition of human atherosclerosis and to identify new T cell alterations associated with clinical outcomes (i.e. stroke).
