Alberto Pugliese, M.D., is a Research Associate Professor of Medicine, Immunology and Microbiology, and head of the Immunogenetics Program at the Diabetes Research Institute.
Since joining the DRI in 1994, the main focus of Dr. Pugliese’s research is studying and characterizing the natural mechanisms of genetic resistance to insulin-dependent diabetes.
Much of Dr. Pugliese’s important findings in the field of immunogenetics involve the body’s regulation of the self-antigens in thymus and other lymphoid organs which are thought to be important mechanisms of predisposition to type 1 diabetes.
Dr. Pugliese has continued to study and make headway with the cells of the immune system that express insulin and other self-molecules/IDDM autoantigens.
Dr. Pugliese is well published and currently serves as a reviewer for many peer-reviewed journals.
