SUMMARY:Size Really Does Matter: Biological Nanoparticles Are Changing Biomedicine
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either.\nThe holy grail of medical diagnostics is a test that is accurate\, sensitive\, non-invasive\, and inexpensive. For solid tumors such as pancreatic cancer and for many neurological diseases\, current diagnostics come too little\, too late.\nAn exciting direction of research in this field relates to exosomes\, tiny biological nanoparticles around 100 nm in size. There are trillions of them in our body\, carrying a massive amount of valuable information about the health—or disorder—of our organs. They are\, however\, so small that they had eluded detection until quite recently.\nIn this talk\, Dr. Giacomo Vacca will discuss the challenges\, and the promise\, of exosomes in biomedical diagnostics. He will show how their abundance is a fantastic opportunity to use them as biomarkers—if you can detect them. As the attention of both technologists and researchers has focused on them\, new tools have emerged\, enabling new scientific findings—and the tantalizing possibility of much more powerful biomedical diagnostics.\nSpeaker(s): Giacomo Vacca\n925 Thompson Place\, Sunnyvale\, California\, United States\, 94085\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/514921
