Ilias Alevizos DMD, MMSc, MHS, PhD

Dr. Ilias Alevizos received his B.S. in biology from Adelphi University, his D.M.D. from Tufts University, his MMSc. from Harvard University, and specialized in oral and maxillofacial pathology at Harvard University. He has completed postdoctoral research appointments at MIT and University of Padova, Italy, and a clinical research fellowship at NIH. During his postdoctoral appointments he focused on the exploration of high throughput genomics for disease development of genetic signatures that would allow for the identification of early cellular changes that can serve as biomarkers or pharmacologic targets.

Dr. Alevizos is a member of the multidisciplinary Sjogren's syndrome medical team at NIH. He possesses extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and management of oral diseases, especially ones related to salivary glands. He is currently participating in many clinical research protocols at NIH. His basic science focus is on salivary gland physiology, and more specifically on how alterations in the expression of non-coding genes participate in the development of diseases impairing the function of salivary glands.
