Exosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that are produced by many, if not all cell types. Exosomes are able to selectively target certain cells and deliver molecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA, and microRNA. These vesicles are thought to have great potential for targeted drug delivery. The Seeker desires innovative methods for exosome drug loading without significant disruption of the membrane components and properties of the exosome.
This Challenge requires only a written proposal.

Challenge Overview
Drug delivery is the method by which pharmaceutical compounds are administered and transported in the body to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Recently, exosomes have been identified as a novel method to deliver drugs in a targeted manner and their potential is derived from natural components such as specific proteins/lipids contained in the membrane of exosomes. Successful delivery of substantial amounts of therapeutic drugs using exosomes is critically dependent on a highly efficient and broadly applicable methodology for loading exosomes with the therapeutic agent, however at present no such technology is available. The Seeker is looking for one or more technologies that will facilitate exosome drug loading without significant disruption of the membrane components and properties of the exosome.
