It is with great pleasure that the International Organizing Committee invites you to be part of the 5th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from May 4-7, 2016. It is our honor to organize this meeting where scientists from around the globe gather to share the latest information on extracellular vesicles, including exosomes. The ISEV was funded in 2011 as the authoritative international community for extracellular vesicle (EV) research. It focuses on all aspects of extracellular vesicle investigations, including exosome investigations. Over the past few years, ISEV meetings have received an increasing number of abstracts due to the outstanding quality of these events. The scientific program (http://isev.org/isev2016/agenda/2016program-2/) of ISEV2016 includes a broad range of educational and scientific sessions covering the entire spectrum of topics relevant to EV research. For the first time, we have expanded our Pre-Meeting Education day program (http://isev.org/isev2016/agenda/2016pre-meeting-education-day/) to parallel sessions on two different topics (“New Developments of EV Isolation and Analysis” and “EV Therapeutics”). The ISEV is proud to announce prominent plenary speakers (http://isev.org/isev2016/agenda/2016program-2/plenary-speakers-isev2016/) highlighting important aspects of EVs and cancer (Klaus Pantel and David C. Lyden), EVs and viruses (Leonid Margolis and Robert C. Gallo) and EVs in cell biology (Francisco Sanchez-Madrid). Parallel symposium sessions, posters, and short oral poster presentations will provide platforms to present the newest developments in the field. Between oral and poster presentations, there will be sufficient time for networking and exhibition visits.Login Or Register To Read Full Story
