Juan Rigoberto Tejedo Huaman

Juan Rigoberto Tejedo Huaman is a Professor at the University of Pablo de Olavide within the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering. He serves as Faculty Member at the Center for Nanoscience and Sustainable Technologies (CNATS) and leads the META Research Group focused on Regeneration of the Pancreatic Beta Cell. His academic credentials include a PhD from the University of Seville with a thesis on the Role of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and c-Src tyrosine kinase in the antagonistic regulation of nitric oxide on apoptosis.

Dr. Tejedo's research spans multiple areas in molecular biology and regenerative medicine, with particular emphasis on nitric oxide signaling in stem cell biology, pancreatic beta cell regeneration, and diabetes therapeutics. His work has evolved from fundamental molecular mechanisms of nitric oxide in cell survival to clinical applications in regenerative medicine. He has made significant contributions to understanding how nitric oxide regulates stem cell differentiation, particularly in pancreatic development.

Analysis of Dr. Tejedo's publication trends reveals a consistent focus on nitric oxide biology with expanding applications to regenerative medicine. His recent work (2022-2025) shows a strategic shift toward translational research, including cell therapy for diabetes complications, applications of mesenchymal stem cells for wound healing, and investigations into Long COVID treatments. His research bridges basic molecular mechanisms with clinical applications, particularly in diabetes and tissue regeneration.

Dr. Tejedo has been involved in multiple doctoral programs including Biotechnology, Biomedicine and Health Sciences. His research has implications for several health conditions including diabetes, wound healing, and infectious diseases. His laboratory at CNATS focuses on stem cell differentiation protocols, particularly toward functional pancreatic beta cells, and investigates the molecular mechanisms behind nitric oxide's role in cell survival and differentiation.
