Alain Brisson,
Professor Emeritus,
University of Bordeaux
Alain Brisson has held academic positions in Grenoble, Strasbourg, Groningen and Bordeaux. His research has focused on the elucidation of biological processes occurring at cell membranes by combining molecular imaging and quantification methods. His current research focuses on extracellular vesicles and exosomes, with the objective to improve our understanding on this new class of sub-cellular entities. His group has pioneered original methods of immuno-cryo-electron microscopy and flow cytometry allowing to image and quantify EV in complex media. His main objectives are to deliver standardized methods of EV characterization, identify disease-specific EV signatures and exploit the potential of EV in drug delivery.

Extracellular vesicles (EV) from body fluids or conditioned media are heterogeneous mixtures containing not only bona fide EV differing by their cell or membrane origin, size, phenotype or cargo content, but also various types of non-vesicular particles and other components, either isolated or aggregated. Given the diversity of biological functions and biomedical applications borne by EV, there is an urgent need for efficient and reliable methods of EV charaterization, quantification and isolation, to improve our understanding on EV and fully exploit their potential.
This presentation will illustrate the power of immuno-gold cryo-electron microscopy combined with magnetic isolation and flow cytometry for providing a detailed and quantitative characterization of EV mixtures.
