I received my B.Sc. degree in Molecular Genetics from King's College London (UK), my Ph.D. in Experimental Oncology from Karolinska Institute (Sweden) and postdoctoral training in Cancer Chemotherapy from Stanford University (USA). My current research interest is to understand the biology and the function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) both in physiological and pathophysiological condition, aiming to develop a novel tool for diagnostics and treatment. Engineered EVs are used for visualization,
