Terry Morgan's Biography

Terry Morgan, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Oregon Health and Science University

Dr. Morgan is a Professor of Pathology and Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, USA. He has been an NIH-funded investigator since 2012 and he has worked with BD Biosciences since 2016 to develop, validate, and begin research trials using nanoscale high resolution flow cytometry to image, count, and isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs). Dr. Morgan is the leader of the EV research group at the Center for Developmental Health at OHSU. He is also the leader of the flow cytometry EV group at the Knight Cancer Institute to test its potential as a diagnostic platform for early cancer detection.

Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) positive EVs increase with gestational age and may be relatively increased early in pregnancy in women who develop severe pregnancy complications. Importantly, PLAP alone is not specific for placental EVs and multiplex antibody labeling is required to measure cell-specific events in plasma. We employ nanoscale high resolution flow cytometry to reliably image, count, and isolate cell- and size-specific EVs in banked plasma. This is the first study to demonstrate that most of the PLAP+ EV events in pregnant plasma arise from EVTs, not floating villi.
