Ivo Francischetti

Ivo Francischetti, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he joined the faculty in July 2020. He serves as Director of the Hematology and Coagulation Laboratory and Co-Director of the Hematopathology Fellowship Program. His clinical and research work focuses on hematology, coagulation, and hematopathology.

Education:

• MD, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 1995
• PhD, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 1997
• Residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, Montefiore Medical Center, 2018
• Fellowship in Hematopathology, National Cancer Institute, 2019
• Staff Scientist, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)/NIH

Dr. Francischetti's research spans vascular biology, immunothrombosis, hematolymphoid neoplasms, and vector-derived anticoagulants. His work combines molecular biology and clinical pathology to understand coagulation disorders in infectious and neoplastic diseases. He has contributed significantly to understanding thrombotic mechanisms in SARS-CoV-2 and HIV/SIV infections, as well as tick-derived anticoagulant proteins.

His recent publications highlight a strong focus on tissue factor-mediated coagulopathy in viral infections, dual hematologic malignancies, and lymphoma classification. The research integrates clinical diagnostics with molecular mechanisms, particularly in immunothrombosis and hematopathology.

Professional Leadership:

• Chair, Educational Subcommittee, International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)
• Member, Hematology and Pathology Societies

Dr. Francischetti has published extensively, including peer-reviewed articles, review papers, and book chapters. He plays a key role in training through his co-directorship of the Hematopathology Fellowship Program. He has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text.
