There’s a grant application deadline coming up. I didn’t think I could make it in time, but last night’s debate made me realize it’s so easy! Forget about aims and methods and preliminary data, all I need are “concepts of a plan” 🤦🏽♀️
Announcing the #EXCEL#EVCore Facility in the @LabWitwer@HopkinsMedicine. We can help you separate, characterize, and functionally study #ExtracellularVesicles#EnvelopedViruses#Nanoparticles with the most rigorous technologies available.
Briefly, EXCEL offers:
Particle concentration, sizing, and phenotyping (#RPS, #NTA, #SPIRIS, #NanoFlow, #SuperResolution microscopy)
EV enrichment and separation (#SEC, #TFF, #UC, #DensityGradientUC, #affinity)
Sample preparation for molecular profiling (RNA, protein)
Consultation on project and experimental design and compliance with international consensus standards in EV studies (#MISEV, https://t.co/QLYBtxsghs)
Training on selected instrumentation and workflows
Consultation on EV functional studies
Please reach out with any questions about the Core, and kindly refer any colleagues with interests in EVs, viruses, or other nanoparticles. And if you have a great technology not featured here...let us know!

"Bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." - Excellent piece about bullying in academia (and really any other professional environment). https://t.co/JTqGBaAuuf
Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.
