Extracellular Vesicle (EV) are important for the cellular communication in any organism and will be used in molecular diagnostics.

The EV workshop will give you a first introduction into EVs and explain the MISEV guidelines.

Furthermore, various EV isolation methods and EV characterisation methods (e.g. NTA) will be presented.

A focus will be on EV protein and EV RNA biomarkers, how to find and quantify these, e.g. via NGS, PCR and bioinformatical tools.

Final Workshop Program, to be held on June 28th from 2pm-6pm.
