Research summary
AI-generated

Mauricio Rojas conducts biomedical research focused on how the immune system contributes to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, with particular attention to extracellular vesicles (tiny cell-released particles that carry molecular signals) and monocytes/macrophages (types of immune cells). A major applied direction of the work involves designing nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems that target specific immune cells to treat autoimmune conditions, alongside some work on lung disease, spatial transcriptomics, and reproductive biology in animals.
