Project description
Volatile organic compounds from extracellular vesicles as a source of additional diagnostic information
Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the VOLATEVS project aims to investigate the volatile organic compounds emitted by extracellular vesicles as an innovative approach for disease diagnosis. The study will test extracellular vesicles isolated from different kinds of samples, including cancer cells, serum, urine, and faeces. The analysis of compounds emitted by the extracellular vesicles will include several techniques such as gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy, and electronic nose systems. The project’s goal is to assess if the volatile organic compounds from extracellular vesicles can provide additional information for disease diagnosis complementing the analysis of the original biological samples.
Objective
This project aims at investigating the potential of analysing the volatile organic compounds emitted by extracellular vesicles as an innovative approach for disease diagnostic. Extracellular vesicles will be isolated from different biological samples, such as cancer cells, serum, urine and seminal bull sperm. The volatile organic compounds emitted by the extracellular vesicles will be analysed employing several techniques, which will include gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy and electronic nose systems. The results obtained in this project will ultimately allow assessing if the volatile organic compounds emitted by extracellular vesicles can provide additional information for disease diagnosis complementing the analysis of the biological samples from which they are extracted.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
