Strengthening ties in EV research: UCL’s Symposium on Extracellular Vesicles
9 January 2025
Building on the strong connections formed through the UCL Therapeutic Innovation Networks (TINs), over 50 attendees, including UCL academics, joined the symposium before the new year to explore the emerging therapeutic applications of EVs and potential collaborations.

The UCL Symposium on Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) concluded on 9 January 2025.
The Therapeutic Innovation Networks (TINs) – Regenerative Medicine supported the first event to bring together EV experts at UCL in 2023. This initiative quickly evolved into the formation of the UCL EV-nano Community, led by Professor Pascale V Guillot and Dr. Michelangelo Corcelli. The Community unites biomedical researchers across facilities departments to exchange knowledge and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
Building on these strong connections, over 50 attendees, including UCL academics, joined last week's symposium. The event featured presentations and discussions on key topics in the field, including defining and classifying EVs, innovative purification and characterisation methods, and their emerging therapeutic applications. With contributions from early career researchers, guest speakers, including external academics and industry professionals, shared invaluable insights with the community.
Our Research Networks and Partnerships Manager, Dr. Asha Recino, also spoke at the event, emphasizing the support available to the community by the UCL Translational Research Office (TRO) and the collaborative opportunities offered through the Therapeutic Innovation Networks.
