First Workshop of the
Portuguese Network on Extracellular Vesicles: EVs in Health and Disease
18 December 2020 | ONLINE EVENT (via Zoom)
Dear PNEV colleagues,
The COVID19 pandemic situation, unfortunately, led us to postpone our first PNEV (Portuguese Network on Extracellular Vesicles) meeting, initially planned for 2020. However, in the meantime, we decided to organize an online event.
Therefore, it is our pleasure to announce the first initiative of our network, the “First Workshop of the PNEV: EVs in Health and Disease”. This will be an online event, held on the 18th of December 2020.
During this 1 day workshop, we will listen to researchers from different institutions in Portugal, all PNEV members. The program includes morning and afternoon sessions, where we will present: EV isolation methods and analysis, including computational methods, as well as EV’s role in pathogenesis, cancer and tissue repair/regeneration.
The lectures will be informal and will include the state of the art for the topics.
We hope to see you all there.
