1. Resource Description

   This Lab offers technical expertise in isolation and purification of Microvesicles, and in their analysis. Technical Expertise: Dr. Ming Bo Huang, M.D. has formulated expertise through ongoing research in the MSM HIV Nef Pathogenesis Group. Dr. Huang has developed expertise 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 MSM 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. This research area can be a collaborative, transdiciplinary research driver at MSM and across the RTRN.
