As physician, prof. Mavilio focuses his clinical activities in handling patients affected by immune-mediated disorders such as autoimmune diseases, chronic viral infections and haematologic/solid malignancies. As a physician-scientist, he handles research projects from the
“bed-to bench” side by coordinating several programs of translational immunology and by merging his clinical activities with experimental programs.  His research activities are focused to study the pathophysiology of innate immune responses in the above-mentioned human models of diseases with the final aim to identify immune targets for novel therapies. In particular, Prof. Mavilio’s studies contributed to identify new NK and gd T cell populations and disclose their impact in the pathogenesis on immunological disorders.
