    Dr. Tommaso Pollini, M.D. is a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of California, San
    Francisco (UCSF) in the Maker Lab, specializing in pancreatic cystic neoplasms with a focus on
    Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms (IPMN). He completed his surgical training at the
    Pancreas Institute of the University of Verona, Italy, where he developed a solid foundation in
    pancreatic diseases. Recognized for his contributions to the field, Dr. Pollini received the
    prestigious Kenneth Warren Fellowship from the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary
    Association and the Steve Sotsky Award from the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary
    Association.
    At UCSF, his research centers on developing predictive models for high-grade dysplasia in
    pancreatic cystic tumors using machine learning. Utilizing his expertise in bioinformatics, single-
    nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq), and spatial transcriptomics, he studies the tumor immune
    microenvironment of pancreatic cancers. Dr. Pollini has published his work in leading journals
    such as JAMA Surgery, The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, and Gastroenterology,
    contributing significantly to advancements in pancreatic cancer research.
