We are pleased to announce that Dr. Pieter Vader (Utrecht University, Netherlands) will join Targeting Extracellular Vesicles 2026 as a speaker.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication through various mechanisms, including transfer of bioactive cargo. Despite increasing interest in EVs as drug delivery vehicles, understanding of the pathways and mechanisms regulating EV uptake, targeting and cargo delivery is limited.

This talk will highlight some of the recent insights into the efficiency of EV uptake and cargo transfer into target cells, and the molecular players involved in this process. In addition, it will show how EVs can be engineered for delivery of therapeutic nucleic acid cargo.
