This will be a very brief post, but kind of an interesting one. I have been attempting to get my identification of exosomes by immunogold labeling and that hasn’t been going terribly well. I think that it is due to…

Hey all, I have the first draft of my ASEMV poster here for any feedback that you might have. The conference is in Monterey, CA next week and any feedback that you have on this by Tuesday or Wednesday evening…

One of the major goals of my work with capturing exosomes is to show that our purified population is less contaminated with protein than exosomes purified by ultracentrifugation. This is important because the protein (and all the other junk floating…

I know this is my third post today, but this is not a data post. It’s more of a PSA. If you want to add beautiful equations into your post (like I did here) then rather than generating a bunch…

This data is from about a month ago and it something that Jim has been asking me to put up, so here it finally is. When Tejas runs his experiments, he usually leaves me the last mL of blood that…

Last summer, Tejas and I spent a few days beating our heads against the wall because I was trying to develop a mathematical model of particle capture. Specifically, I was trying to understand what amount of transmembrane pressure we would…

When we are trying to optimize the capture of exosomes in the tangential flow system, it is important to understand how particles are behaving in the flow. Initially, we tried to do this last summer by looking into the particle…

Over the course of this past year and 3 months, I have been on a long and perilous quest to reproduce data that I obtained during my rotation in the McGrath Lab. Specifically, I was looking to capture exosomes in…

When Aslan and I went to the Beckham lab last week, they gave us a copy of their ultracentrifugation protocol for isolating exosomes. I attached it here so that we can have it as a reference. The major thing to…
