Dr. Bianchi is a physician-scientist and associate physician with the Hematology Division of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA. She is Associate Director of the Amyloidosis Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Dr. Bianchi earned her MD degree summa cum laude and Valedictorian of her class from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy. She trained in Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN and in Hematology-Oncology at Dana Farber Partners program in Boston, MA.
The research interest of the Bianchi lab is to discover the mechanisms regulating protein homeostasis in physiologic and pathologic states of plasma cell differentiation and the role that proteostasis plays in determining plasma cell fate. The overall vision of the lab is to build a strong mechanistic foundation for the development of innovative, early phase clinical trials targeting plasma cell disorders AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma as well as the progression of precursor diseases monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Dr. Bianchi is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Damon Runyon Physician Scientist Training Award, 2016; the Doris Duke Charitable Research Foundation Clinical Scientist Development Award, 2019, the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI) Young Physician-Scientist Award, 2021 and the American Society of Hematology Scholar Award, 2022.
