Mark Shlomchik
Distinguished Professor & UPMC Endowed Chair University of Pittsburgh
Dr. Shlomchik is the PI of a T32 on Autoimmunity and Immunopathology. He has trained over 50 students and fellows, most of whom remain in science and several of whom have independent faculty positions. His position as a physician-scientist conducting disease-related basic research has enabled him to provide a combination of scientific and career advice and mentoring that have in turn made his lab an attractive destination for trainees with similar interests and background.
