Course overview

The extracellular vesicle (EV) research field is still growing with many researchers entering the field with a continued strength of demand for such specialized training. As research progresses, it becomes clear that EV’s regulate an increasing number of (Patho)physiological processes and are harnessed in a variety of biomedical applications.
Appropriate methodologies to prepare and characterize EV from biofluids are key to understanding the mechanisms that regulate their formation, composition and function. Given the large number of methods used, it is particularly important to provide practical hands-on training to new researchers covering the possibilities and limitations of the most widely used methods. This course will deliver such state-of-the-art training to participants, particularly those entering the field, and enable them to select the methodology which best fits their research question.
