Mini-symposium “Exploiting cellular trafficking and communication for the design of advanced brain therapies: focus on extracellular vesicles”
Gipsoteca di Arte Antica 5 June 2026
On Friday 5 June 2026, from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm, the Gipsoteca di Arte Antica at the University of Pisa will host the mini-symposium “Exploiting cellular trafficking and communication for the design of advanced brain therapies: focus on extracellular vesicles”, organised by the Research Group in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Department of Pharmacy, University of Pisa.
The mini-symposium will explore the mechanisms of intracellular trafficking and extracellular communication as potential strategies for the development of next-generation therapies targeting the central nervous system, with a particular focus on extracellular vesicles.
The event will bring together internationally renowned experts in the fields of neuroscience, biochemistry and cell biology, and translational medicine, with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on the mechanisms regulating vesicle biogenesis, cargo selection and targeted delivery. The central objective of the symposium is to build a solid bridge between basic mechanistic knowledge and clinical applications.
The event is open to all interested parties, in particular to teaching staff, researchers and PhD students from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry and Physics and the School of Medicine (Department of Translational Research and New Technologies in Medicine and Surgery; Department of Surgical, Medical, Molecular and Critical Care Pathology; Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine).
