Research Interests
Research Interests
Professor Mejias' research focuses on the development of biomaterial systems for immune mediated tissue regeneration and development of in vitro models for fibrosis. We are particularly interested in understanding and developing material systems that account for endogenous immune changes caused by biologic variability such as age and sex. We are also interested in using our biomaterials expertise to develop more physiologically relevant in vitro models to recapitulate human-specific fibrotic diseases such as uterine fibroids.
Teaching Interests
