The focus of our research is type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that causes the loss of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented or cured. Our goal is to change this by exploring new strategies to shut-down the autoimmune attack on the pancreas and to protect...

We are part of a dynamic research consortium that leverages cutting edge multiomics technologies and collaborates with colleagues across the nation. Together, we are a highly collaborative team of biologists, chemists, physicians, and computational scientists who are committed to advancing the...

The enormous increase of Raman signal in the vicinity of metal nanoparticles allows surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to be employed for label-free detection of substances at extremely low concentrations. However, the ultimate potential of label-free SERS to identify pharmaceutical...

We gained new insight into the potential for some types of extracellular RNA called microRNA (miRNA) to influence cancer progression ( Cancer Cell 2014 ). The research suggests that cancer cell exosomes, vesicles that are secreted by cells and present in many biological fluids, and the associated...
