Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be i) acquainted with the basic techniques of extracellular vesicles isolation, purification and characterization; ii) instructed about the recommended international guidelines for extracellular vesicles isolation, purification and characterization; iii) made able to understand the suitability of different methods of extracellular vesicle isolation and purification in different biological fluids and from different biologic sources; iv) be upgraded about methods to assess the genomic and protein profiling of extracellular vesicles. Students will also learn biologic assays regarding extracellular vesicle bio-activity and basic methods and instruments for in vitro and in vivo imaging studies on extracellular vesicles. Students will also learn how to study extracellular vesicles in the context of advanced medical and cellular therapies.
