Held in conjunction with Circulating Biomarkers World Congress 2016
21 Mar 2016, at 19:30 - 21:30 in Boston, USA
Price:
This Training Course presents an overview and discussion of the
various methodologies for the isolation, characterization, and study of
exosomes, microvesicles, and other classes of extracellular vesicles
(EVs), plus an analysis of the various classes of circulating biomarkers carried by EVs. Detailed protocols are presented and analyzed based on
methodologies utilized by the researchers in the field. Also,
competitive benchmarking of commercial platforms and products are
presented. This course is designed for both the
newcomers in the EV field as well as the experienced researchers who
would like to share their perspectives and learn the up-to-date
methodologies. Specific Topics Covered in this Training Course - Introduction to Exosomes, Microvesicles, and EVs
- Research Methodologies Utilized for Isolation from Biological Fluids (annotated with Experimental Protocols)
- Research Methodologies for Characterization and Enumeration of EVs (Light Scattering Approaches amongst others)
- Interrogation
of Biomarker Cargo derived from EVs (Methodologies for Studying RNAs
and Proteins within EVs as well as the advantages and disadvantages of
each approach)
- Review of Commercial Products and Services in the EV Space -- Suitability of Different Approaches based on Application Areas
- Diagnostics Development (Liquid Biopsies) using EVs: A Presentation of Potential Disease Classes, Biofluid Classes, as well as Current State of the Field
The
tutors presenting this training course are hands-on researchers in the
EV field from top-tier institutions, are highly-respected in their
fields, and are highly conversant with the various approaches and
methodologies for EV isolation and analysis. This training course is
very interactive and questions/comments from the attendees are
encouraged as a means for sharing experiences with different approaches
and offering a rich learning opportunity from your colleagues. All
course attendees will receive electronic copies of EV research
protocols to bring back to their laboratory and offering hands-on
guidance on studies of EVs in addition to recent publications, reviews and Powerpoint presentations
Dinner for all course delegates is included so as to enable networking and engagement amongst the course delegates.
Who Should Attend - Researchers entering the field of Exosomes, Microvesicles, and EVs
- Established
EV Researchers seeking to receive the most up-to-date landscape of the
field and research methodologies, protocols, and guidance in the space
- Companies
seeking to provide tools and technologies for EV study and seek to
understand the research landscape and unmet needs and opportunities
- Companies involved in EV biomarker research seeking to understand the current research environment
- Core
facilities from academic institutions seeking to offer services for EV
analysis, and therefore need to understand the current research
landscape
