Dr. Giada Bianchi is a physician scientist in the field of plasma cell disorders with a prime laboratory and clinical interest in AL amyloidosis. She is Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and a Principal Investigator with the Division of Hematology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. Dr. Bianchi is Associate Director of the Amyloidosis Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Dr. Bianchi received her medical degree from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy, summa cum laude and Valedictorian of her class. She trained in Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, followed by fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute/Partners program in Boston, MA.

Dr. Bianchi’s research focuses on plasma cell biology and particularly on the role of protein homeostasis and the dynamics of the ubiquitin proteasome pathway in determining physiologic and pathologic plasma cell fate. Her overarching goal is to mechanistically understand the roots of plasma cell dyscrasias, discover new druggable targets and develop novel therapeutics to support early phase, investigator-initiated clinical trials in AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma. Dr. Bianchi is the recipient of numerous awards, including the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Research Training Award for Fellows, 2015; the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) Brian Novis Junior grant, 2015; the Damon Runyon Physician Scientist Training Award, 2016; the Doris Duke Charitable Research Foundation Clinical Scientist Development Award, 2019; and an NIH/NCI K08 award, 2020.
