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.
