ISEV Cardiovascular Research (ISEV-CVR)  

When? 

December 17-18, 2026

Where?

Oxford University, Mathematical Institute, Andrew Wiles Building in Oxford, England

 

             

 

Background:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are critical in cardiovascular health and disease. They modulate inflammation, repair, and intercellular communication, and are increasingly recognized as both biomarkers and therapeutic agents in heart and vascular conditions.

 

 Objective of ISEV-CVR


ISEV CVR will be the inaugural international meeting dedicated to extracellular vesicles in cardiovascular science. It will bring together a global, interdisciplinary community to present cutting-edge research, shape translational strategies, and catalyze cross-sector collaboration. The meeting will convene global experts in cardiovascular science and extracellular vesicle (EV) research to:

Showcase cutting‑edge basic and clinical EV science in heart and vessel health.

Identify translational strategies for EV diagnostics and therapeutics.

Foster international collaborations and mentorship across academia and industry.

Cultivate support and sponsorship from pharma and biotech for EV‑CVR initiatives.
