Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the International Organizing Committee, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to be part of the 7th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles being held in Barcelona, Spain, from 3-6 May 2018 with a pre-educational day on 2nd of May. It is our honor to organize this meeting where scientists from around the globe share the latest information on extracellular vesicles.
Extracellular vesicles represent a new paradigm both in cell biology and medicine. They are considered to offerunprecedented opportunities for future applications from new generation diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers totherapeutic applications. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) was founded in 2011, and as the authoritative international community for extracellular vesicle research, it focuses on all aspects of extracellular vesicle investigations. Over the past few years, ISEV meetings have received an increasing number of abstracts due to the outstanding quality of these events. In 2017, ISEV welcomed close to 1000 delegates to its annual meeting.
It will be a unique occasion to interact with experts and top-researchers, to exchange new ideas, and also, to contribute in the development of this growing and passionate field with opportunities to impact in different socio-economical areas including food industry, environment and, importantly, clinics. In collaboration with the internationalorganizing committee, we are organizing an effective and dynamic program that will include educational sessions for beginners, along with the latest advances of the field touching, both, fundamental and clinical aspects. Ample opportunities to engage speakers and colleagues in both large and small settings will be offered. Our speakers will present the latest research and advances, and delegates will have also the opportunity to interact closely with companies leading the development of new tools for studying extracellular vesicles.
By providing an insight into the most recent unpublished data of extracellular vesicle research, ISEV meetings create a unique competitive advantage for our academic and commercial partner attendees. In the FIRA Monjuic exhibition center, our exhibition floor will be interspersed with poster boards and refreshments during lunches and coffee breaks to provide optimal opportunity for personal and scientific interactions.
We are committed to create a most memorable scientific congress. Through your participation, interest, andsupport, you will highly contribute to the success of the meeting and the advancement of novel extracellularvesicle studies.
In this brochure, we offer various promotional opportunities for your company to create an impact in this rapidlygrowing and exciting field. We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!
On behalf of the International Organizing Committee,
