The laboratory is engaged in investigating the role of the biological nanoparticles secreted from most cells known as exosomes. These vesicles carry proteins, genetic information and fats from the secreting cell and can uniquely affect target cells. Using in-vitro research, we isolate and characterize the exosomes, deliberately changing their contents and/or their surface area, and examine their ability to induce biological change in target cells. The focus of the laboratory is glaucoma and knowledge-based collaborations in the field of exosome research on a variety of biological topics and bioengineering.
