Biography

Elizabeth Pino, PhD is interested in clinical temporal trends and health outcomes research. Her current work primarily focuses on the public health consequences of firearm violence in the US and the short- and long- term effects of violent injury survivorship. She also explores the long-term consequences in patients undergoing treatment for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, as well as outcomes in maternal health and depression.

Currently, she is a research scientist at Boston Medical Center and assistant professor of emergency medicine at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. Prior to joining BUSM, she was a research scientist and the data manager for the BMC Violence Intervention Advocacy Program (VIAP). Before this, Dr. Pino completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital within the Center for Human Genetic Research, where she completed a genome-wide screen and identified a novel gene network critical for starvation survival.

Dr. Pino is trained as a molecular biologist and geneticist. She received her PhD in biochemistry from Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, and her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from Carnegie Mellon University.
