About Evan Carpenter

Evan Carpenter is a Postdoctoral Scientist at University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on elucidating the mechanism by which extracellular vesicle (EV) luminal protein cargo is delivered to the cytoplasm of recipient cells.His graduate work was on melanocyte physiology as it pertains to the prevention and treatment of melanoma.Selected Publications:• Carpenter E.L, Wyant M.B, Indra A, Ito S, Wakamatsu K, Merrill G.F, Cassidy P.B, Leachman S.A, Ganguli-Indra G, Indra A.K.(2022).
