Vasileios Kyttaris, MD, PhD

Rheumatologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine
BIDMC
Boston, Massachusetts, United States

I graduated in 1994 from the University of Patras, Greece. I trained in internal medicine at Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC, graduating in 2001. Following that, I trained in rheumatology at Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC and graduated in 2003. I pursued a third year of fellowship training, combining a research component focusing on SLE at Walter Reed Army Institute of research and a clinical component at the Washington Hospital Center, graduating in 2004. I received a PhD from the University of Athens, Greece in 2009 based on my graduate work on the role of the transcription factors NFAT and AP-1 in SLE.
I joined Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in 2006, as a member of the newly founded Lupus Center of Excellence. Since then, I have focused on understanding the pathophysiology of SLE and the development of new biomarkers. In 2017 I became the Program Director of the Rheumatology Fellowship Program.
I have been a member and co-chair of different abstract selection committees for the annual ACR conference since 2011. I participate as a clinical expert in lupus in numerous NIH and DoD and LRA study sections. I serve on the editorial boards and edited special issues on lupus in several rheumatology journals. Finally, I serve on clinical trial adjudication and data safety committees and I helped organize lupus focused symposia.
