Dr. Nomellini serves as the Director for the ICU Recovery Program at the University of Cincinnati. After completing medical school at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, she then obtained her general surgery training at the University of Wisconsin and received additional fellowship training at the University of Pennsylvania. She is certified in general surgery, with added qualifications in Surgical Critical Care as awarded by the American Board of Surgery. She joined the Department of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati in 2016.
Her clinical practice focuses on trauma, acute care surgery, and critical care with a special emphasis on chronic critical illness and prolonged ICU recovery. She instituted the ICU Recovery Program at the UC Medical Center in order to improve outcomes for this highly complex patient population. She also serves as the Surgical ICU representative to the Pulmonary Embolism Response Team, whose mission is to provide a multidisciplinary team that responds immediately to patients anywhere in the hospital or at referring hospitals who develop a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
Dr. Nomellini is also active in basic science and translational research. Her lab is focused on the immune dysfunction that can happen in response to injury and infection, also referred to as the Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism Syndrome (PICS). She has published numerous manuscripts and has received funding from the NIH to investigate how the immune system can be dysfunctional after injury or infection. In addition, she has active clinical trials examining this in humans, with the goal of developing personalized immune therapies to reverse the immunosuppression that can occur in ICU survivors. She sees patients at the UC Medical Arts Building in Clifton.
