Plinio Hurtado

  • Research Interests

    For over 25 years, the main focus of his research has been the study of the mechanisms leading to autoimmunity. In particular, the role of infections in the development of autoantibodies to neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and DNA in systemic lupus erythematous. More recently, he has been interested in the role of pro, and mature BDNF might have in the normal immune response to pathogens and autoimmunity and its association to toll-like receptors (TLRs) signalling. More recently, he has directly involved in the study of the regulatory functions of B cells and the immunomodulatory properties of urine-derived stem cells. He has a deep understanding of the immunology-based laboratory technics has a vast experience developing in vitro immunology test for research and diagnosis.
