Paula Manuela Rojas Zambrano
I am a PhD student interested in neuroimmunology, chronic pain, and the long-term consequences of cancer treatment. My current research focuses on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, investigating how immune cell activation and inflammatory signalling contribute to neuropathic pain and exploring Kv1.3-targeted therapies as a novel therapeutic approach.
Prior to my PhD, I worked in cancer research studying tumour–microenvironment interactions and mechanisms of chemoresistance in haematological malignancies. This experience shaped my interest in understanding how cancer therapies influence immune function and contribute to treatment-related complications, with the goal of identifying mechanism-based therapeutic strategies that improve patient outcomes.
