Gregory Viglianti is an Associate Professor at Boston University's Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. He has significant expertise in the fields of Virology, Immunology, and Microbiology, with a focus on the co-factors influencing mucosal transmission of HIV-1 and the role of endogenous nucleic acid autoantigens in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Dr. Viglianti's research investigates the mucosal immune responses to sexually transmitted pathogens in the female reproductive tract, elucidating how inflammation enhances HIV-1 transmission through the activation of Toll-like receptors and recruitment of immune cells. His studies also explore how nuclear receptors can inhibit the inflammatory gene expression linked to HIV transmission. His collaborations extend to defining immunostimulatory autoantigens associated with SLE, specifically the properties of protein-nucleic acid complexes. As a member of the Boston University Genome Science Institute and an Assistant Dean for Operations at the Graduate Medical Sciences, he contributes to advancing knowledge in his field and mentoring graduate students in medical sciences.
