It covers the possibilities and limitations of the most widely used methodologies, enabling participants to select the approaches best suited to their research questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As EV research continues to grow and attract new researchers, there is an increasing need for specialised training in the methods used to study their formation, composition, and function. Understanding the strengths and limitations of different preparation and characterisation techniques is essential for generating reliable and meaningful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants will learn how to prepare and characterise EVs from biofluids and gain the knowledge needed to apply these methods in the study of (patho)physiological processes and a wide range of biomedical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is designed for PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers who are entering or are already active in the field of EV research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules\/resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>EV biogenesis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heterogeneity in EV subtypes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EVs isolation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EVs characterisation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single EV analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EVs omics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EVs clinical applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>In vivo<\/em> function of EVs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a mix of theoretical and practical sessions, participants will learn good-practice guidelines and methods for purification and identification of extracellular vesicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>This training was an amazing opportunity to deepen my knowledge in the EVs domain as well as expend my technical skills.
