Professional Narrative
Dr. Rufo received an MD from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He received an MMSc degree from Harvard Medical School in 2002 after he completed the Clinical Investigator Training Program sponsored jointly by BIDMC, HMS, and MIT.
Dr. Rufo's current research interests are focused on the development of novel treatments and diagnostic tools for use in the management of children and adults with inflammatory intestinal diseases. Earlier in his career, during his fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Wayne Lencer, he completed basic research studies that demonstrated that the antifungal antibiotic, clotrimazole, displays both anti-secretory as well as anti-inflammatory properties when studied in vitro and in vivo. As a clinician, Dr. Rufo recognized the potential clinical implication of these findings. He is currently translating these basic science findings into clinical practice, and has obtained FDA-sponsorship for an Orphan Drug Program.
