Dr. Marilia Pinzone joined the Department of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases as an instructor in July 2024. She is an infectious disease physician-scientist with a research interest in studying how HIV reservoirs are formed and maintained as well as investigating the factors that drive poor immunological recovery and non-AIDS comorbidities in people living with HIV infection. After completing her residency in Italy, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania in the O’Doherty Lab. She then came to WashU to complete her Infectious Diseases Fellowship. At Washington University, Dr. Pinzone joined the Shan lab, where she is currently interested in identifying new mechanisms that drive chronic inflammation during ART. Her clinical time is spent on the general inpatient ID service as well as in the outpatient setting, where she sees patients (mostly people living with HIV) in the ID clinic. Her key interests are outpatient care of PLWH, infectious diseases and metabolic complications of HIV.
