Summary

  • Dr. Monaco received her MD and PhD degrees at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where her graduate work under the tutelage of Dr. Michael Gale focused on the structural and functional evaluation of a Hepatitis C virus protein and its interaction with the innate immune system. She then moved to St. Louis where she completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Washington University. Her post-doctoral work in Dr. Skip Virgin’s laboratory entailed characterization of the enteric microbiome in HIV infection using next-generation sequencing. She was able to show that severe immunodeficiency in AIDS correlated with an expanded enteric virome and altered bacterial microbiome in a sub-Saharan cohort. She joined the faculty of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Rochester Medical Center in 2017, where she continues to pursue microbiome research. She additionally is collaborating with colleagues at other institutions to study the lung microbiome in transplant recipients.
