From trash to treasure: Extracellular vesicles and small RNA in CNS disease
Kenneth Witwer is Assistant Professor of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology and Neurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he studies the roles of extracellular vesicles (including exosomes and microvesicles) and their RNA cargo in retroviral infection, central nervous system disease, and cancers. He currently serves as the Secretary General of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV). In this seminar, Dr. Witwer will focus on small RNA and EVs in neurodegenerative disease, specifically in the HIV- associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and Alzheimer's disease.
