Biography

Peter Pioli is an Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine, specializing in the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology & Immunology. He received his PhD from the University of Utah in 2015, his MSc from the University of California, Irvine in 2010, and his BSc from the University of Wisconsin, Parkside in 2006. Dr. Pioli's research focuses on antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), also known as plasma cells, and their roles in hematopoiesis, autoimmunity, inflammation, aging, and gene expression. His studies have shown how plasma cells evolve with age, influencing the hematopoietic system and contributing to age-associated immune dysfunction and conditions such as myeloid leukemias. By utilizing various techniques including in vivo signaling blockade and single cell transcriptomics, Dr. Pioli aims to uncover the mechanisms by which ASCs regulate hematopoiesis and their roles in disease development, ultimately seeking to develop strategies that enhance ASC behavior for overall health benefits.
