Extracellular Vesicles for Biomarker Detection

The Walt lab has developed an assay and platform to collect novel biomarkers in the form of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from cells. As a result, a wider variety of EVs with unmatched quality, quantity, and purity can be obtained. EVs hold incredible value for the scientific and medical communities, as they can provide a better understanding of how disease starts in organs and tissues that are typically inaccessible to diagnostics, such as the brain. This platform can also enable improved and earlier diagnostics of deadly diseases such as ovarian cancer, and can uncover new disease targets to accelerate drug discovery.
