About this workshop
The mission of the Beckman Institute EVIT Working Group is to bring together our university community focused on the investigation of EVs in the context of both disease and health.
Our goal is to introduce innovation into the traditional workflow of isolating and characterizing EVs, which requires synergistic efforts from faculty in multiple disciplines. This workshop will showcase several national and international investigators, highlighting new discoveries in the areas of cancer, reproduction, therapy, imaging, and manufacturing.
