CE Discussion Group’s Post

Are you ready for the Dutch #CEDiscussionGroup on 14 October in Utrecht? 🤩    On this beautiful morning it is time to put the spotlight on our next speaker: Andrea Capuano. Andrea holds a PhD in microtechnologies and is currently a Marie Curie Post-doc researcher at EXIT071, an innovative spinoff company of Leiden University in the Netherlands. His expertise includes miniaturized device development, wearable medical device design, and testing of container closure systems for drugs. His talk is titled ✨Depletion-zone isotachophoresis (dzITP) of extracellular vesicles: a separation method suitable for biomarker discovery applications that can increase purity over current techniques✨     About the lecture  Exosomes are nanovesicles produced by cells, crucial for cell-to-cell communication, which have a mediating role, through different biomarkers, in the development of metabolic syndromes, malignancies, or neurodegenerative diseases. By leveraging the principle of Depletion-zone isotachophoresis (dzITP), at EXIT071, we are developing a microchip technology that utilizes electric fields to isolate exosomes from blood plasma, facilitating comprehensive analyses such as lipidomics and metabolomics. Our method further purifies exosome samples beyond conventional techniques like size exclusion chromatography and tangential flow filtration. This innovation promises to revolutionize diagnostics and enable personalized therapies, offering faster and less invasive solutions for the future.
