    Paul Bollyky

    Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are abundant in the human body. However, their contributions to human health and disease are largely unknown. The Bollyky Lab
    studies interactions between phages and both their human and bacterial hosts with the goal of developing innovative strategies to improve human health.

  • Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, MSc

    Anna Maria Bombardieri, MD, PhD, MSc

    Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research program focuses on the autonomic nervous system as a modifiable determinant of physiological resilience and recovery across acute and chronic disease states. I investigate sympathetic modulation as a therapeutic strategy, examining how regional anesthetic and neuromodulation techniques, including cervical sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks, influence cerebral perfusion, cardiovascular regulation, neuroimmune interactions, and functional outcomes.
    Through the integration of clinical trials, translational human physiology, and advanced physiologic monitoring, my work seeks to elucidate mechanisms of autonomic dysfunction and to develop evidence-based neuromodulation approaches for conditions such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (Long COVID). The long-term objective of this research is to advance interdisciplinary models of care and to translate autonomic science into therapeutic strategies that improve long-term patient outcomes.
