Matthew Rondina

Matthew Rondina is a Professor of Internal Medicine and Adjunct Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Utah. His research focuses on platelet and megakaryocyte gene expression and function during thrombo-inflammatory syndromes, integrating studies from patient samples to experimental models.

• Fields of Interest: Inflammation, RNA Expression, Proteins, Megakaryocytes, Platelet Regulation, Thrombo-inflammatory Syndromes

His work spans investigations into infectious diseases (e.g., sepsis, dengue, influenza), aging, and cardiometabolic disorders. Recent publications highlight thromboinflammation, platelet transcriptomics, and mechanisms linking metabolic states to coagulation. Notably, his lab explores hypoxia-induced platelet changes and aging-related mitochondrial dysfunction.

Dr. Rondina's contributions include developing mortality prediction algorithms for sepsis and studying glucose metabolism in thrombosis. He leads a research team at the University of Utah, utilizing primary human cells and RNA-Seq to address clinically relevant questions.
