Episode Notes

It’s been 40 years since extracellular vesicles, or exosomes, were first connected to the way cells communicate and transfer information. Since then, researchers have studied what part they play in the normal physiology of a cell. There has also been an expanding amount of work in the role that exosomes can play in therapeutics and diagnostics of a wide range of diseases.  Jim West, CEO of Clara Biotech, joins us to share his perspective on research and innovation using exosomes as well as life in a biotech startup. He provides great insights into where this technology is today, the challenges being experienced in the field, and the potential and opportunity that the field of applied exosome research represents in the future.
