Dr. Nardi is an assistant professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School and a hematopathologist and molecular genetic pathologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. She received her M.D. from the University of Genoa, Italy where she completed an internship followed by a fellowship in hematology/oncology. Dr. Nardi joined George Daley’s laboratory at Boston Children’s Hospital as a postdoctoral fellow studying resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia. This research led to her decision to pursue molecular diagnostics as a career. After the postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Nardi enrolled in the anatomic pathology residency program at the Massachusetts General Hospital where she also completed a fellowship in hematopathology. After a second fellowship in Molecular Genetic Pathology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Dr. Nardi joined the faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital, Department of Pathology and Center for Integrated Diagnostics (CID) where she focuses on implementing molecular assays for hematological malignancies with a research interest in rapid detection of known and novel gene fusions in leukemias and sarcomas.
