Biography
Pichichero received his undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, and his medical degree from the University of Rochester.
Scientific Work
Pichichero's research has concluded that after children receive a vaccine with thimerosal in it, their blood mercury levels return to normal within only a month.
Pichichero has written a textbook about streptococcal pharyngitis. A board-certified immunologist, he, along with other scientists at the University of Rochester, helped invent the Hib vaccine. His more recent research, however, has focused on otitis media, as well as a syndrome his lab discovered and termed, "PNIP (Prolonged Neonatal Immune Profile)".
