Alessia Buglioni

Dr. Alessia Buglioni is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science in Rochester, Minnesota. She specializes in Renal Pathology and Molecular Genetic Pathology, with extensive clinical and research experience in kidney diseases and molecular diagnostics. Her work spans multiple disciplines including nephrology, immunology, and genetics, contributing significantly to understanding complex kidney disorders.

Dr. Buglioni completed her medical education at University Politecnica delle Marche, School of Medicine in Italy (2008), followed by internship (2009) and geriatrics residency (2014). She then pursued advanced training in the United States at Mayo Clinic, including:

• 2016: Research Fellowship in Cardiorenal Research Laboratory
• 2020: Residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology
• 2021: Fellowship in Renal Pathology
• 2023: Fellowship in Molecular Genetic Pathology

Her research interests focus on renal pathology with particular expertise in IgG4-related kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, amyloidosis, and molecular diagnostics. Dr. Buglioni has made significant contributions to understanding the clinicopathologic features of various kidney disorders and their molecular underpinnings. Her work bridges clinical practice with laboratory medicine, advancing diagnostic approaches for complex renal conditions.

Analysis of Dr. Buglioni's publication record reveals a strong focus on kidney pathology with several recurring themes: IgG4-related kidney disease, glomerulonephritis variants, molecular diagnostics in renal disorders, and genetic aspects of kidney disease. Her recent work (2024-2025) shows increasing emphasis on molecular techniques and their clinical applications in renal pathology. She frequently collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across nephrology, transplantation, and molecular genetics.

Dr. Buglioni has received numerous prestigious awards recognizing her research excellence:

• Multiple Stowell-Orbison Award finalists (2017, 2019, 2021)
• Renal Pathology Society's 'Pathologists in Training Best Abstract Award' (2019)
• ASH Young Investigator Travel Awards (2014, 2016)
• Heart Failure Society of America awards (2012, 2014, 2015)
• Academic Achievement Recognition from the Division of Anatomic Pathology (2020)

Dr. Buglioni is actively involved in professional organizations including the Association for Molecular Pathology (2021-present), Renal Pathology Society (2018-present), College of American Pathologists (2017-present), and the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (2016-present). While specific grant funding isn't detailed in the provided materials, her extensive publication record and active research program suggest successful grant acquisition. She serves on the Membership Affairs Committee of the Association of Molecular Pathology.
