Rosita Primavera
Basic Life Research Scientist, Rad/Pediatric Radiology
BioDr. Rosita Primavera is a Basic Life Research Scientist at Stanford University in the Department of Radiology/Pediatric Radiology. With an MD in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnologies, she brings a robust educational background to her research endeavors. Dr. Primavera has extensive experience in developing nano- and micro-drug delivery systems (DDS) as well as 3D platforms aimed at treating various diseases.
Her training includes a variety of techniques for creating drug delivery systems and 3D platforms, utilizing both synthetic and natural materials, and employing methods such as top-down and bottom-up fabrication. Over the past few years, Dr. Primavera's research interests have increasingly focused on diabetes. She has received extensive training in handling and processing pancreatic islets from multiple sources, including mice, rats, and humans, equipping her with the expertise needed to conduct both in vitro and in vivo experiments involving diabetic animal models. Dr. Primavera is focused on developing an on-command system that mimics pancreatic islet function. Her current research further investigates the role of 3D bioscaffolds in pancreatic islet transplantation, along with the involvement of mesenchymal stem cells in diabetes treatment. She is particularly interested in innovative cellular approaches, such as co-transplantation of islets alone, within cutting-edge bioscaffolds, or in conjunction with stem cells. Through her work, Dr. Primavera aims to enhance therapeutic strategies for diabetes and improve patient outcomes.
