Microvesicle Lab

The Microvesicle Lab offers technical expertise in isolation and purification of microvesicles, and in their analysis. Technical expertise has been formulated through ongoing research in the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ HIV Nef Pathogenesis group. Expertise has been developed in microvesicle isolation and analysis. Further, this group has developed technology that allows targeted loading of proteins into micro-vesicles. Microparticles are a very hot current topic, and this biotechnology has cross research focus area potential for both research and therapeutic uses in AIDS/ID, Cancer/Reproduction, Cardiovascular/Metabolic, and Neuroscience. This research area at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ was originally funded through the HIV group, but quickly was turned into a collaborative, transdisciplinary funded research project through the RCMI T1 ARRA Project which brought together diverse researchers from AIDS/ID, Cancer, Cardiovascular/Metabolic focus areas together into a interacting group.
