Scientific Contribution Award 2026 decerned to Lino Ferreira

Scientific Contribution Award 2026 – Lino Ferreira | Can extracellular vesicles help us intervene in the biology of aging?

At Targeting Extracellular Vesicles 2026 in Porto, we are pleased to recognize Prof. Lino Ferreira, University of Coimbra, Portugal, with the Scientific Contribution Award.

His research demonstrates how engineered extracellular vesicles can deliver selected microRNAs to modulate endothelial senescence and its associated inflammatory profile.

Importantly, the work connects molecular screening with targeted delivery and functional improvements observed in aged mice.

This integration of mechanistic research and preclinical therapeutic potential represents an important direction for EV-based medicine.

Congratulations to Prof. Ferreira and his research team for this scientific contribution.
