She also holds adjunct appointments at the College of Mt. St. Vincent, New York Medical College and Excelsior College. She is currently working in collaboration with Dr. Nick Ferreri at New York Medical College to develop a protocol for the detection of tumor necrosis factor via immunohistochemistry in kidneys. Dr. DelliPizzi has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Hypertension, and the British Journal of Pharmacology.
Dr. DelliPizzi currently resides in Rockland County, NY, with her husband and two children. Outside of the classroom and lab, she loves to dance, travel, bake and just spend time with her family.
Emma Sarro person
