Inverardi, MD
Luca Inverardi, M.D. is an Associate Director at the Diabetes
Research Institute's Cell Transplant Center and the head of Basic
Science Division at the Institute. Dr. Inverardi is a Research Associate
Professor of Medicine at the University of Miami School of Medicine,
and his principle area of interest is immunology.
Dr. Inverardi received his M.D. degree magna cum laude in Milano,
Italy in 1983 and was involved in clinical practice for the following
three years. He then moved to Minnesota to broaden his immunological
training and began his involvement in basic science research. At
the University of Minnesota, Dr. Inverardi served as a post-doctoral
fellow and then an instructor/lecturer under the supervision of
Fritz Bach, a recognized leader in the field of immunology.
Dr. Inverardi has a keen interest in the field of transplantation
immunobiology and his current focus is on xenogeneic or cross-species
transplantation. Xenogeneic transplantation research is a relatively
young field and represents an area of study that is likely to receive
an increasingly prominent role in diabetes research.
Since his arrival in Miami, Dr. Inverardi has contributed to the
shaping of multiple basic and pre-clinical research projects at
the Diabetes Research Institute, including studies of bone marrow
transplantation, chimerism induction and tolerance induction. He
has also been an active participant in several academic programs
and has ongoing teaching responsibilities at the University of Miami
School of Medicine.
