His work consisted mainly
of basic research in the emerging field of cellular immunology,
while his duties included also teaching to medical students.
During is last year of tenure, Dr. DiMarco continued
his research as visiting fellow at the Memorial Sloan
Kettering Institute in NYC. Some of Dr DiMarco’s
research findings were judged original contributions
to the field, and were published in prestigious peer
review Journals.
Today, two quests of this
area of research —induction
of selective immunologic tolerance, and improvement of
immunologic defenses against cancer, are among the most
pressing and central in medicine.
In 1975, Dr DiMarco, declined a NATO Fellowship awarded
to him for research on Tumor Immunology, to enter a three
years post-graduate program in Internal Medicine at Hurley
Medical Center in Flint, Michigan. He graduated in 1978,
and has been in private practice, in Rome, NY, since then.
SCOPE OF PRACTICE
During his residency, and
then years of practice, Dr DiMarco has sought every opportunity
to furthering his knowledge and competence in Cardio-Vascular
Medicine. He has attended numerous courses at some among
the most prestigious Institutions in the Nation, and
he has obtained special certifications of competence
in Cardiac Pacing, in Echocardiography, and in Critical
Care (since he choose not to apply for a cardiovascular
fellowship program, Dr DiMarco is ineligible for cardiovascular
Board Certification).
Several diagnostic and
therapeutic advances in cardiology have been introduced
to our Central New York community by Dr DiMarco: among
the most important, the 2-D Echocardiography in 1979,
and the intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial
infarction, in 1982.
Has result of his studies
and accomplishments over the years, Dr. DiMarco has gained
the recognition of his peers as a non-invasive Cardiologist,
and has obtained the priviledges and status of cardiovascular
consultant.
Dr. DiMarco still enjoys studying and practicing in broad
areas of Internal Medicine. However the patients he can
help more are those with complex cardiovascular conditions,
and those with coexisting and complicating diseases, to
whom he can provide comprehensive, in dept assessment and
the most advanced medical care.
