Research summary

Lorena Rosas studies how lung cells age and become dysfunctional, with a particular focus on cellular senescence (a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active and can promote tissue damage) and its role in lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and influenza-related lung injury. Her work combines single-cell and spatial transcriptomics (methods for measuring gene activity in individual cells and mapping it to tissue location), computational tools, and mass spectrometry imaging to characterize aging and diseased lung tissue at high resolution. This research aims to identify molecular signatures of senescent and disease-associated cells that could inform future treatments for chronic lung conditions.

Publication output was minimal before 2022 but rose sharply starting in 2023, suggesting a recent and substantial increase in research activity over the past few years.
