Workshop: Engineering Extracellular Vesicles for Heart, Lung, Blood and Sleep Diseases
September 16, 2021 @ 10:00 am - September 17, 2021 @ 3:00 pm
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) will hold a two-(half) day workshop, “Engineering Extracellular Vesicles for Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep (HLBS) Diseases” on September 16-17, 2021. The objective of this workshop is to evaluate critical knowledge gaps and research opportunities with multidisciplinary approaches to explore the utility of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HLBS diseases. The workshop will bring together basic, translational, and clinical scientists and include a FDA perspective, a pro/con debate, and the following sessions:
- Session 1: Engineering the membrane of EVs for HLBS disease therapy
- Session 2: Engineering the cargo of EVs for HLBS disease therapy
- Session 3: Lessons from other cell membrane-derived vesicles and other diseases
- Session 4: Leveraging EV biology for novel diagnostics and prognostics
The workshop will be held virtually on September 16 (10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT) and September 17 (10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT).
