About Muhammad Nawaz

We investigate how diseased cells communicate with healthy cells using tiny particles called extracellular vesicles or exosomes (EVs) during the onset and progression of metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and liver-originated diseases. 

We not only investigate the impact of EVs on pathophysiological functions of metabolic organs but we also use EVs as tools for new therapies to treat chronic metabolic disorders. 

Using their innate built-in ability of carrying and transporting biologically active molecules between cells, we engineer and load EVs with therapeutic agents and deliver treatments to the molecular targets in the tissues and cells where metabolic disease originates.
