Brian Eliceiri's Biography

Brian Eliceiri, Professor, UC San Diego

Brian Eliceiri, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of California San Diego. His research is focused on the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in regulating wound healing and immune cell crosstalk, with specific interests in the biogenesis of exosomes and how that relates to the cellular source of EVs, the cells that uptake EVs and the engineering of EV payloads to promote tissue repair. Using advanced approaches such as single vesicle flow for the analysis of wound fluid EVs, our lab has identified biologically important protein payloads that promote wound repair in animal models of impaired wound healing.
