Welcome to the Second World Congress on Targeting EVs
We are pleased to invite you to the Second World Congress on Targeting EVs, taking place on October 15-16, 2025, in Valencia, Spain. This event will bring together leading international experts to discuss the latest breakthroughs and innovations in extracellular vesicles (EVs).
This conference is the first of its kind to explore the multifaceted roles of extracellular vesicles, with a special focus on mitochondria and microbiota. Join us for cutting-edge discussions and groundbreaking discoveries at the forefront of EV research.
Keynote Speaker 2025 - Prof. Simon Carding:
Extracellular Vesicles as Architects of Systemic Health and Disease
With the unifying theme “Extracellular Vesicles as Architects of Systemic Health and Disease”, Professor Simon Carding’s keynote will serve as a foundational moment for the 2025 edition of the Second World Congress on targeting Extracellular Vesicles. More than an introduction, it is designed to establish a scientific and conceptual framework for the two-day event, one that connects basic biological mechanisms with clinical potential.
