Maëliss visited the Amsterdam Vesicle Centre to learn more about extracellular vesicles.

Maëliss had a very educational stay at the Amsterdam Vesicle Center some weeks ago. Thanks to Jill, Chi and Rienk, she was trained to enrich our breastmilk samples in extracellular vesicles (EVs) using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and density gradient. Perhaps more importantly, she learnt how to use flow cytometry and the clotting assay developed by Rienk’s lab to characterize her samples. Maëliss also got some precious and critical insights in the still mysterious and complex world of EVs. We hope to use this experience in our further work with the ExMilk project.
