[1] Currently he is a pathologist and assistant professor in New York City and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West Hospitals and Mount Sinai Hospital. [1] Also, he is the Academic Director and Founder of The Venezuelan Science Incubator (incubadorave.org), a group focused on infectious diseases research and awareness based in Venezuela. [2]
Paniz-Mondolfi was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1976. His mother is a pediatrician and his father an architect. His grandfather, Edgardo Mondolfi Otero, a biologist and zoologist. Two of his uncles were physicians with special ambitions in the field of sciences and research. His childhood was shared between Caracas and Kenya.
Paniz-Mondolfi has a master's degree in parasitology and tropical diseases; he did international fellowships in microbiology, molecular genetics, and skin disease. He also did a second medical residency in the United States in pathology. He isolated and described a new species of parasite that had infected a NY resident, and a new mycobacterium that sickened two people in Connecticut.
