Pablo F”. Cespedes

Dr Pablo Cespedes is a Group Leader and Career Development Fellow at the CAMS Oxford Institute, University of Oxford. Trained in molecular genetics, microbiology, and immunology, his research explores how lymphocytes communicate and coordinate responses across scales—linking fast molecular events at the immunological synapse to longer-term multicellular organization in organoids. His group’s current focus is molecular and cellular immunology, with particular interest in how immune receptors and extracellular vesicles help build and remodel lymphocyte networks. Dr Cespedes completed his PhD in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, graduating with the highest honours, and then carried out postdoctoral research supported by an EMBO Long-Term Fellowship, followed by translational research fellowships at the University of Oxford. With transformative support from CAMS and the UKRI/NC3Rs, his lab now develops next-generation ex vivo models—includ
