First National EVE Consortium Seminar
10th February 2021 at 12.00 – 18.00 EET, Online event
The seminar is open to all interested in extracellular vesicle research and it offers excellent window to important topics in EV research: methodological challenges, the state of the art in the development of EV therapies and the use of EVs as tools for better diagnostics.
Internationally recognised EV researchers and leading teams of EV research in Finland will present their vision on these topics. Same time this seminar offers a unique possibility to hear how Finland is moving in this field of nanoscale biotechnology and who are the parties in this National Consortium funded by Business Finland and its company parties.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the seminar will be held in TEAMS and the participant number is limited to 200.
