Exosomes

Role of extracellular matrix in cancer


BIOGRAPHY - SURESH MATHIVANAN

 

Professor Suresh Mathivanan undertook a PhD in proteomics and bioinformatics at the Institute of Bioinformatics, India and Johns Hopkins University, USA. After PhD, Suresh joined Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Melbourne, Australia as a postdoctoral researcher.

In 2011, he received a NH&MRC Peter Doherty fellowship to study exosomes secreted by cancer cells. Further to this, in 2015, he received an ARC DECRA to study the role of exosomes in intercellular communication.

Suresh moved to the Department of Biochemistry, La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) at La Trobe University after receiving a LIMS fellowship to set up his own research group in 2011. At LIMS, Mathivanan's laboratory is focused on exosomes, their role in cancer and intercellular communication. Currently, he serves as the Director of the Research Centre for Extracellular Vesicles (RCEV) in La Trobe University.

He has authored over 96 articles that are cited more than 20840 times (Google Scholar). He has been listed as a 'Highly Cited Researcher' by Web of Science in 2018 and 2019.
