Carmelo Gurnari, MD, PhD, is a dedicated hematologist hematologist: (hee-muh-TOL-uh-jist) A doctor who specializes in treating blood diseases and disorders of blood producing organs. currently serving as a Research Associate in the Department of Translational Hematology and Oncology Research at the Cleveland Clinic (USA) and as an Assistant Professor of Hematology at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome, Italy.

Dr. Gurnari earned his medical degree from the University of Pavia, Italy, in 2015, and completed his Hematology training at Tor Vergata University in 2020. He joined the Cleveland Clinic in 2019, where he also completed a Ph.D. in "Immunology, Molecular Medicine, and Applied Biotechnology," subsequently being appointed to the faculty.

His long-term research interests focus on unraveling the ontogenetic mechanisms of leukemia using cutting-edge molecular biology sequencing platforms, with the ultimate goal of informing early therapeutic interventions. Specifically, he studies the genomics of bone marrow failure bone marrow failure: A condition that occurs when the bone marrow stops making enough healthy blood cells. The most common of these rare diseases are aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Bone marrow failure can be acquired (begin any time in life) or can be… disorders and myeloid neoplasia, including germline predisposition, while pioneering efforts to translate genomic information into clinical practice.
