Project
Extracellular vesicles are membraneous structures with the size of ~100 nanometers released by various cell types facilitating intercellular communication. Engineering these vesicles to enable targeted delivery of therapeutic cargo holds promising opportunities in the field of Oncology. I am developing techniques in order to utilize extracellular vesicles as drug delivery vehicles.
