Regional Research Network on Extracellular Vesicles

Earlier this week, RRNEV hosted a half-day research seminar on the topic "Isolation and characterization of Extracellular Vesicles" at the Norwegian Radium Hospital. This was the sixth combined half-day scientific seminar followed by workshop on RRNEV cooperative projects.We were honored to be visited by both An Hendrix (Ghent University, Belgium) and Johanna Höög (University of Gothenburg, Sweden) who both held outstanding talks within the emerging field of EV methodology!

Towards the end of 2015, The Norwegian Cancer Society and the Research Council of Norway distributed 56 million NOK to various innovation projects. Products that cancer patients are in need of will be developed by these projects. TTOs (Technology Transfer Offices) and Inven2 are project leaders for the majority of these projects. One of the supported projects is led by one of the RRNEV network group leaders Alicia Llorente, located at the Institute for Cancer Research at The Norwegian Radium Hospital.

 

The lack of standardized methods is a significant bottleneck to accurately elucidating the function of EVs.

The annual ISEV meeting will in 2016 be held in Rotterdam between May 4-7th 2016. Thinking of going? Abstract submisstion deadline is January 15th, and earlybird registration deadline is February 29th! Hope to see you there!

The Regional Research Network on Extracellular Vesicles (RRNEV) will arrange a half-day scientific seminar on Tuesday November 24^thon the topic "Extracellular vesicles in therapy". Welcome!

     

We are proud to announce two invited guest speakers: Imre Mäger (left) and Bernd Giebel!

Thermo Fisher Scientific has shared an exclusive video collection from the ISEV2015 meeting in Washington DC. Have a look!

The annual ISEV event was held at the Bethesda North Marriott hotel near Washington DC on April 23-26th. A total of 780 participants attended the meeting, and as many as 487 abstracts were submitted!

   

The webinar will be presented by John Nolan of the Scintillon Institute and will discuss measurement of individual microvesicles using flow cytometry. Broadcast live from AAI in New Orleans May 11^th 2015 at 11am CST.
