Professional Interests

autoimmunity, cancer immunotherapy, molecular immunology, endocrinology

Rotations and Thesis Projects

1. Determine how aberrant regulation of miRNAs affects activation of macrophages in autoimmune systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)

2. Identify the role that macrophages play in the immune/fibrotic axis in scleroderma

3. Determine how modulation of the tumor immune landscape (microenvironment) can be used to combat cancer

Biography

Dr. Pioli received a B.S. in biology from George Washington University in 1993 and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Dartmouth Medical School in 2001. She performed post-doctoral research with Dr. Paul Guyre at Dartmouth from 2001-2004, studying the mechanisms by which cortisol influences macrophage activation and immune function. She was appointed Research Assistant Professor of Physiology from 2004-2010. In July 2010, Dr. Pioli joined the faculty of Dartmouth Medical School as Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Microbiology and Immunology.
