Extracellular Vesicles in Nervous Systems Symposium

A first-of-its-kind symposium organized by ISEV Special Interest Group “EViNS”

 The ISEV symposium “Extracellular Vesicles in Nervous Systems” aims to discuss key challenges in:

• understanding the biogenesis, secretion, and roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the nervous system
• how to reliably develop EV-based biomarkers for research on neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases
• understanding the role of EVs in communication between the brain and the periphery
• current state of EVs as therapeutics for nervous systems diseases
• emerging technologies in the nervous system field

Given the specific structure and function of neuronal circuits, this symposium will also include talks and posters that cover striking advances on neurobiology and neurotransmission, and that are important for the study of EVs in the context of nervous systems.

The in-person meeting will be held in Rome (Italy) from 6 to 8 December 2023, at the beautiful venue A.ROMA conference center. The meeting will start on Wednesday 6 December at 8:00am and will finish on Friday 8 December at 2:00pm. The meeting will feature talks by leading experts in the field, short talks selected from abstracts, poster sessions and panel discussions. There will also be ample time in the program for networking. The preliminary program will be available soon.
