Dublin, Feb. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Extracellular Vesicle-based Dx & Rx Summit" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)-based Diagnostics and Therapeutics Summit 2019 focuses on the emerging field of deploying Exosomes as diagnostics and the engineering of exosomes and extracellular vesicles as a delivery tool for therapeutics moieties. The ability to engineer EVs and the ability of EVs to target specific sites offers the ability to tailor therapeutics with exquisite targeting ability and opens up a whole new class of therapeutics which are classified as biologicals and which do not have the side effects and toxicity associated with small molecule-based therapies. This summit explores this topic and takes a deep dive into the technology platforms, diseases targeted and clinical results-to-date.
Agenda:
THURSDAY, 28 MARCH 2019 10:00 - Conference Chair
- Conference Chaiperson Opening Remarks
- Lucia Languino, Professor of Cancer Biology, Thomas Jefferson University, United States of America
- Summit Session Title: Emerging Themes in EV-based Diagnostics and Therapeutics
- Summit Chairpersons: Professor Lucia Languino and Professor Paul Robbins
10:30 - Extracellular Vesicles and Aging
- Paul Robbins, Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics, and the Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism, University of Minnesota Medical School, United States of America
11:00 - Keynote Presentation
- Diversity of Extracellular Vesicles to Understand their Diagnostic and Therapeutic Potential
- Jan Ltvall, Professor, University of Gothenburg; Founding President of ISEV, Sweden
This presentation will discuss the diversity of extracellular vesicles, primarily from a clinical perspective. Specifically, the presentation will show the presence of extracellular vesicles in tissues, specifically healthy tissues as well as different types of tumors. Data showing the presence of multiple types of EVs in different types of tissues will be presented, as well as the opportunities of utilizing that knowledge for clinical use. 11:30 - Keynote Presentation
