Dr. Marino is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Chicago, Biological Sciences Division. She is the founding Director of the Transplant Immunology and Immunogenetics Laboratory Section, and the Program Director of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics approved Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Fellowship. Dr. Marino is board certified by The American College of Histocompatibility & Immunogenetics (ACHI).
Dr. Marino has identified, characterized, and published several new HLA alleles, co-authored book chapters, and published manuscripts in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In addition, she has been an invited speaker at local, national, and international meetings. Her primary clinical research interests are identifying pre-and post-transplant biomarkers of immunological risk to increase access and survival to solid organ transplant patients and to use genomic markers for hematopoietic cell transplant donor selection to reduce incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease and to increase patient survival. In collaboration with the National Marrow Donor Program and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, Dr. Marino has identified permissive mismatches in hematopoietic cell transplantation and recently published the guidelines for the selection of Unrelated Donors and Cord Blood Units for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.
