ABOUT

The ASIC Annual Meeting is an intellectual “home” and support network for new and seasoned investigators, students, and postdocs. Over three days you’ll exchange ideas on emerging questions and cutting-edge developments in non-EV research including:

Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)
Extracellular Particles (EPs)
Particulate carriers of extracellular RNA (exRNA) as biological mediators, regulators, and diagnostic analytes.

The meeting also covers a broad range of intercellular communication processes including:

EVs
EPs
exRNA in Cancer
CNS Diseases
Infections (both bacterial and viral)

WHY ATTEND?

You’ll have a valuable opportunity to network with investigators from diverse scientific and clinical fields, discuss and advance the impact of EV/EP/ExRNA in diagnostics and treatments, and better understand the biogenesis of normal vs. disease states.

Are you new to the field? You can work with colleagues and mentors so you can improve your grants and develop their skills to become successful independent researchers.

Women and those from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to attend and connect with seasoned researchers who have years of mentoring experience.
