Dr. Farmakiotis is the Director of Transplant and Oncology Infectious Diseases (ID) at Rhode Island Hospital, the Lifespan Cancer Center and Cardiovascular Institute (heart transplant and VAD ID clinic). He also attends on the teaching general ID service.
Dr. Farmakiotis graduated valedictorian from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and trained in Internal Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, NY. He completed his ID fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine on the MD Anderson Immunocompromised Host Track, in Houston, TX, and served as Chief Fellow for Baylor ID, followed by one year of advanced training in Transplant-Oncology ID at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Farmakiotis' clinical and research interests focus on common and opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly invasive fungal infections, mechanisms and clinical significance of resistance to antifungals in Candida species, antifungal stewardship, VAD infections, CMV, HIV and hepatitis-C in transplantation, and COVID-19.

The study of viral, bacterial and fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with cancer, hematologic malignancies or solid organ transplant recipients, is challenging. Unfortunately, the relatively new subspecialty of transplant - oncology ID has been historically hampered by empiricism and poorly-supported data from retrospective studies and small case-series. The stakes for the community are high, because of (i) the substantial investments in cancer care, solid organ, or hematopoetic stem cell transplantation and (ii) the significance of appropriate organ allocation and favorable outcomes in transplantation, given the increasing demand with relatively small and stable donor pools.
To this end, I aim to provide critical insight into mechanisms of antibacterial and antifungal resistance, help develop and study new antimicrobial drugs, promote diagnostic stewardship, expand organ donor pools, prepare for future pandemics, and accelerate my career as a leader in the structured study of life-threatening infections in immunocompromised hosts.
