Biography

Professional Background

Ben Gigliotti received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Rochester, where he stayed on to train as a resident in Internal Medicine and to subsequently serve as chief resident. He completed his fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital with a focus on Thyroidology and mentorship from the MGH Thyroid Unit. In 2018, he returned to the University of Rochester to join the faculty in the URMC Endocrine Division.

Dr. Gigliotti is a practicing Internist and Endocrinologist with a particular passion for the care of patients with thyroid disorders, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer, along with parathyroid/metabolic bone disorders and other endocrine cancers and hereditary syndromes. He also cares for patients with diabetes, adrenal, pituitary, and reproductive diseases. He is a dedicated proponent of Engel and Romano's "Biopsychosocial model" and believes in holistic caring for the whole patient, not just their disease(s).

He is deeply invested in medical education and is committed to training the next generation of medical students, residents, and fellows. His research focus is on the bench-to-bedside development of novel treatments and combination regimens for patients with advanced thyroid cancers, including the use of small molecule inhibitors and immunotherapies, along with studying the role of molecular and microenvironmental profiling to inform therapy.
