About the group
The Pathobiology and Extracellular Vesicles research group, within the Research Centre for Resilience, is based in the University of Westminster's School of Life Sciences. The research group aims to unravel the interplay of innate, adaptive, and epigenetic contribution to pathobiological processes, leading to the identification of novel molecular targets and therapies to improve human health during their lifespan and to expand our understanding of the One Health concept.
