Research summary
AI-generated

Mauricio Rojas studies lung diseases, especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a progressive scarring of the lungs) and other interstitial lung diseases, focusing on how immune cells, cellular aging (senescence), and tissue changes contribute to disease. His work combines patient-derived tissue and blood analysis, animal models, and lab techniques like single-cell genomics to understand fibrosis, transplant rejection, and lung injury. This research aims to identify biological markers and mechanisms that could inform future diagnostics or treatments for chronic lung conditions.
