Marcelo Mario Nociari

Marcelo Mario Nociari serves as Assistant Professor of Immunology in the Department of Ophthalmology at Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University, since 2015. His research bridges immunology and ophthalmology with a focus on retinal pathology and immune mechanisms.

Dr. Nociari completed his academic training at Argentina's National University of Buenos Aires, earning an M.S. in 1990 followed by a Ph.D. in 1995.

His research portfolio spans:

• Lipofuscin biology in age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Adenovirus-immune system interactions and dendritic cell maturation
• Bacterial pathogenesis of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas species
• Retinal pigment epithelium cell death mechanisms

Publication analysis reveals an evolution from bacterial/viral immunology (1990s-2000s) to current retinal disease focus. His 2021-2022 work details lipofuscin-induced necroptosis and bisretinoid synthesis, while earlier studies defined adenovirus immune activation pathways.

Collaborative networks include Erik Falck-Pedersen (4 co-publications), Enrique Rodriguez-Boulan, and Patricia Fontan. His work appears in high-impact journals including PNAS and Journal of Virology, with multiple papers exceeding 100 citations.
