David Fiorentino, MD, PhD

Professor of Dermatology
Clinical Focus
Autoimmune Diseases, Dermatology, myositis, systemic sclerosis
Research Interests
From a clinical standpoint, I am particularly focused in the care of patients with myositis or systemic sclerosis. We offer clinical trials, including novel, cutting-edge cellular-based (e.g. chimeric antigen receptor, or, CAR T) therapies for these diseases. We are particularly interested in understanding the role of auto antigens in providing windows into disease pathogenesis, as well as their potential direct role of autoantibodies in causing disease.
