In 1977 he graduated with a MD degree and also a Ph.D. degree. His doctoral thesis is entitled The Role of T-Cell Help in the Immune Response. Dr. Romano’s research as a graduate student bore fruit in that he authored numerous articles in the basic science literature including articles that appeared in Proceedings of National Academy Sciences, The Journal of Immunology, The Journal of Experimental Medicine, and Cellular Immunology, to name a few. I believe this can be found in the publication section of this website.
