About Me
Talia Swartz, MD, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases and Medical Education. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease. Her clinical training is in Infectious Diseases with a specific interest in care for people with HIV and her basic science interest is in the biology that underlies chronic HIV infection and severe COVID-19. Her NIH-funded research laboratory investigates the signaling that mediates inflammatory signaling in response to infection and aims to develop novel treatment paradigms that reduce the morbidity and mortality of HIV-1 disease and COVID-19.
Dr. Swartz is Director of the MD-PhD Program and Senior Associate Dean for MD-PhD Education. She has been deeply committed to supporting the training of physician scientists through recruitment and support of diverse trainees who are navigating dual training in medicine and biomedical science. She is involved in innovative curricular development, outreach, and student support, both at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and through the AAMC GREAT Group MD/PhD Section Communications Committee where she has been developing resources to make physician scientist training available to a more diverse group of future trainees.

Research
Purinergic receptors and downstream inflammasome signaling mediators are important contributors to HIV-1 entry and in driving inflammation. Preliminary data indicate that inhibitors of purinergic signaling reduce both HIV-1 infection and inflammatory cytokine signaling. Our goal is to elucidate the role of HIV-1 in mediating inflammatory signaling in lymphoid tissue.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
