Professor Peter Nejsum (evFOUNDRY personnel) receives million-funding for development of new treatment method.

Danish Professor Peter Nejsum (evFOUNDRY personnel) has received DKK 3 million (approximately USD 457,800) in funding for a project to develop a new method to diagnose and treat diseases. The aim is to discover new immunotherapies and diagnose cancer through blood tests. But first step on the journey goes to the local abattoir to collect a bucket of roundworm.

Processing large volumes of EV sources. First study supported by evFOUNDRY published on Cells.

Sara Busatto and Paolo Bergese (evFOUNDRY PI) co-authored with Joy Wolfram and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic and the Houston Methodist Research Institute a paper on the use of tangential flow filtration (TFF) for highly efficient concentration of nanosized EVs from large volumes of fluid. The study contributes to evFOUNDRY effort in exploring methods for robust massive separation of EVs based on size.

MISEV2018 is online

Researchers involved in evFOUNDRY contributed to the last update of the “Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles 2018 (MISEV2018): a position statement of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and update of the MISEV2014 guidelines”, which was published online in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles at the beginning of this week. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20013078.2018.1535750

evFOUNDRY researcher Lucia Paolini selected for FET2RIN business training

evFOUNDRY researcher Lucia Paolini was selected for the FET2RIN training course (three workshops from mid-December 2018 to mid-February 2019 in Brussels).
The training, in collaboration with META, European Crowdfunding Network (ECN), and European Business and Innovation Centre Network (EBN), will help to look at FET project from a business perspective, assessing its strengths and weaknesses on the route to commercialization (http://www.fet2rin.com/home).

KICK OFF PARTNERS’ MEETING

KICK OFF PARTNERS’ MEETING On September 12 2018, at Plesso di SANTA TERESA Florence, next to the workshop (https://www.quotidiano.net/blog/malpelo/ricerca-vescicole-extracellulari-come-taxi-per-farmaci-e-vaccini-33.2061 http://www.meetthelifesciences.it/it/archvio/831-nanotecnologie-evfoundry-nuovi-approcci-ed-utilizzi-delle-vescicole-extracellulari) it’s time for the partners meeting.

evFOUNDRY researchers participate in the foundation of EVITA, the Italian Society of Extracellular Vesicles

On October 5 2018, Lucia Paolini (evFOUNDRY recruited researcher) with Annalisa Radeghieri  (evFOUNDRY personnel, CSGI), Natasa Zarovni (evFOUNDRY personnel, HansaBioMed Life Sciences) and Paolo Bergese (evFOUNDRY coordinator) will participate in the foundation of the Italian Society of Extracellular Vesicles - EVITA.  The meeting will be held at CNR headquarters in Rome.  EVITA will connect leading Italian scientists from all the disciplines involved in EV research in the effort to advance EV research nationally and globally, in tight relationship with other EV Societies, including The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (https://www.isev.org), the Spanish GEIVEX (http://geivex.org) and the American Society for Exosomes and Microvesicles (https://www.asemv.org).  

Annalisa Radeghieri invited talk at the International Conference on Bioengineering and Cell Therapy

On Friday September 21 Annalisa Radeghieri  (evFOUNDRY personnel, CSGI) will give an invited talk at the International Conference on Bioengineering and Cell Therapy.

The talk will be focused on the potentiality of extracellular vesicles in regenerative medicine. 

Kick off workshop

On September 12 2018, at Plesso di SANTA TERESA Florence , evFOUNDRY kicks off and opens to academic and non-academic communities with a free workshop on “Extracellular vesicles, a breakthrough in precision medicine and nanotechnology”, which sees the partners lecturing on their role and science in the project.
