American Society for Intercellular Communication (ASIC)

The meeting is organized by a group of investigators seeking to create a platform for informal exchange of ideas on emerging questions and cutting-edge developments in the field of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), Extracellular Particles (EPs), and particulate carriers of extracellular RNA (exRNA) as biological mediators, regulators and diagnostic analytes. Our program of relatively short talks (15 and 30 minutes) encourages discussions that can take place after each scientific talk, where the audience and attendees can debate the concepts presented to foster a dynamic scientific exchange. 

We invite you to join us for a 2.5-day meeting (Thursday, Friday and Saturday until noon; October 16 - 18, 2025 ) at the William F. Bolger Center, Potomac, Maryland. The program will include the functions of EVs, EPs, exRNA in cancer, CNS diseases, infections (both bacterial and viral), the mechanistic basis for their biogenesis and activities, and technological and diagnostic advances in the field. In the interest of everyone's health and safety, vaccines are required to attend this meeting in person. We will also be following CDC guidelines for this meeting.
