Greta Pellegrino

Dr. Greta Pellegrino is a rheumatologist at IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi - Sant'Ambrogio. She also collaborates with Smart Clinic Varedo.

She graduated in Medicine and Surgery in 2016 from the University of Pavia and completed her specialization in Rheumatology in 2021 at Sapienza University of Rome.

Dr. Pellegrino’s educational path began at the University of Pavia, where she earned her medical degree in 2016 and developed an early interest in systemic autoimmune diseases through clinical training at the Rheumatology Unit of IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo under the supervision of Professor Montecucco. During her final year of medical school, she became involved in clinical and translational research in Rheumatology through a training period at the University of Glasgow. She subsequently specialized in Rheumatology at the Rheumatology School of Sapienza University of Rome. During her residency, under the guidance of Professor Valeria Riccieri, she deepened her expertise in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of patients affected by connective tissue diseases, particularly Systemic Sclerosis. In October 2024, she obtained a Master’s degree in Epidemiological Methodology and Biostatistics for Clinical Research (MEBRIC) from the University of Milano-Bicocca.

In December 2024, she became a Researcher at the University of Milan and currently works at IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi Sant’Ambrogio.

In her clinical practice, she focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with immuno-rheumatological diseases, with particular attention to the early diagnosis of autoimmune connective tissue diseases (Systemic Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Sjögren’s Syndrome, mixed and undifferentiated connective tissue disease), inflammatory myopathies, systemic vasculitis, autoinflammatory diseases, and rare diseases. She places particular emphasis on the multidisciplinary management of organ involvement and systemic complications, such as interstitial lung disease. She also specializes in the diagnosis of primary and secondary microcirculatory alterations associated with systemic autoimmune diseases through nailfold videocapillaroscopy.

Her research activity initially focused on autoimmune connective tissue diseases and the use of capillaroscopy in Rheumatology. Following her specialization, her research became focused on cardiac involvement in Systemic Sclerosis. In these fields, she is the author or co-author of numerous scientific publications in national and international journals, as well as posters and presentations at national and international congresses.
