Biography
Yareli Rojas-Aguirre got her PhD degree in Chemistry in 2013 at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In the same year, she joined the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2014, she came back to Mexico to start her career as young professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Her research interests focus on the design and synthesis of biomaterials and the study of their interactions at biological interfaces to: Rational design and develop advanced drug delivery systems. Investigate at the micro and macro scale biomaterials fabrication processes, in particular 3D printing (additive manufacturing) for biomedical devices. Integrate the biomaterials and biofabrication research with the discovery of new bioactive molecules and/or drug repositioning approaches to accomplish drug delivery platforms that lead up to novel and suitable therapies.
