Associate Professor Mhoyra Fraser heads the Perinatal Molecular Neuroscience Research Group at the Department of Physiology, University of Auckland. Using a fetal sheep model of preterm brain injury, her programme of research focusses on identifying clinically relevant biomarkers, including identification of the mechanisms and development of new effective therapies to prevent or ameliorate damage. Her current research goals within the field of extracellular vesicles are two-fold: 1) to identify relevant exosomal miRNA biomarkers of preterm brain injury, and 2) to examine the intrinsic therapeutic potential of unmodified and modified neural stem cell-derived exosomes to ameliorate preterm brain injury.
