History

Paniz-Mondolfi was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1976. His mother is a pediatrician and his father an architect. His grandfather, Edgardo Mondolfi Otero, a biologist and zoologist. Two of his uncles were physicians with special ambitions in the field of sciences and research. His childhood was shared between Caracas and Kenya.

Paniz-Mondolfi has a master's degree in parasitology and tropical diseases; he did international fellowships in microbiology, molecular genetics, and skin disease. He also did a second medical residency in the United States in pathology. He isolated and described a new species of parasite that had infected a NY resident, and a new mycobacterium that sickened two people in Connecticut. He earned an MD and PhD and studied under Jacinto Convit the leprosy researcher.[3]

He was a pathologist at the IDB Biomedical Research Institute in

Yale Cancer Center. In 2020 he focused his research on the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects the virus had on minority children.[3]

His research findings have been published in several medical journals including: the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases,[6] The American Association for the Advancement of Science,[7] and The Lancet.[8]
