Research summary
AI-generated

W. Andy Tao's research focuses on proteomics (the large-scale study of proteins) and mass spectrometry techniques, with a particular emphasis on extracellular vesicles—tiny cell-derived particles found in biofluids like blood, urine, and saliva that carry proteins and other molecules. His work spans method development for isolating and analyzing these vesicles and their protein modifications, as well as applications to disease biomarkers and drug delivery systems such as targeted therapies for osteoarthritis.
