In the Fetal Extracellular Vesicle Monitoring of Oxygenation (FEMOx) project several of the Wyss Institute’s Technology Platforms and faculty labs join forces. Leveraging and integrating multiple of the Wyss Institute’s technological innovations and advanced analytical capabilities they aim develop a test that can rapidly and accurately detect fetal oxygen deprivation by detecting specific miRNA signatures in extracellular vesicles (EVs) that circulate in maternal blood.
