Scientific and professional experience
- 2001- M.D. at l’Università degli Studi di Brescia
- 2001-2002 Research fellow-Department of Pediatrics, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy – Grant provided by the Department of Pediatrics, included both clinical and laboratory activities. Research focused on the molecular and genetic defects of rare forms of immunodeficiency such as Hyper-IgM syndrome and autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia.
- 2002-2004 Visiting fellow -B Cell Biology Group, Autoimmunity Branch, NIAMS, NIH, Bethesda, USA ; as part of an ongoing scientific collaboration between the Department of Pediatrics and NIAMS/NIH. Research focused on B lymphocytes and their role in health and disease (autoimmune diseases such as SLE, RA and immunodeficiencies such as Hyper-IgM Type 1 and Hyper-IgM Type 3).
- 2002-2007 Residency in Pediatrics
- 2007-present Researcher/Young Investigator/Junior fellow in Pediatrics and Immunology (includes clinical, laboratory and teaching duties) Laboratory of Molecular Medicine; Focus of research: Elucidating molecular mechanisms and genetic factors involved in hypo/agammaglobulinemia - Clinica Pediatrica, Università degli Studi di Brescia
- 2008 Visiting fellow Laboratory of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
Dr. V. Lougaris is a Medical Researcher specialized in Pediatrics with a particular interest in disorders of the Immune System. His research is mainly focused on the field of Primary Immunodeficiencies. Dr. V. Lougaris has several publications in this field; in particular he contributed to the identification of a novel genetic defect (mutations in Igbeta) as cause of agammaglobulinemia in humans. He also contributed to to the elucidation of the clinical ripercussions of the mutations in TACI, the gene most frequently associated with Common Variable Immunodeficiency. At present, Dr. Lougaris is a Medical researcher at the Pediatrics Department, University of Brescia, Italy, where he has both clinical and research duties.
