Are you curious about what it takes to get an idea moving from theory to practice? Perhaps even from the bench to the market? Join SNEV as we discuss with Dr. Minh Le the reality of bringing a theoretical concept from laboratory research to a new business opportunity through her research in red blood cell extracellular vesicles. We also highlight her experience navigating both geographical and linguistic international collaborations during her scientific career. Tune in to discover not just the science, but the resilience, creativity, and cross-cultural insights that transform bold ideas into real-world impact.

In this episode we hear from An Hendrix about the EV-Track project and its future directions through the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) EV-Track Taskforce. An’s group developed the EV-Track platform where researchers can submit their publications and experiments as a means of assessing and improving their methodological rigour. The platform is under ongoing development and represents a centralised database on EV publications and their experimental parameters. In this podcast An shares the story of the platforms development and makes a clear case for why EV researchers should engage with the EV-Track project. This is not an episode to be missed!

Have you moved, or considered moving to a new city to pursue EV research? The Mobility for Extracellular Vesicle Research in Europe (MOVE) are an initiative of over 20 European EV societies that support doing just that! In this episode we speak with Dr Jason Webber (UKEV) and Dr María Yáñez-Mó (GEIVEX), two EV researchers and ECM members of European societies which makeup the MOVE initiative.

You'll hear about:

- How the MOVE initiative provides a framework for national society travel fellowships.

- Some insights into the experience of moving cities in an academic career.

- The upcoming MOVE symposium in Estonia.

Enjoy the podcast!

Ever wondered what's involved in organising the annual ISEV meeting? This episode we hear from Cristóbal Cerda-Troncoso, SNEV's Event Manager who worked on the ISEV 2025 IOC to make this years event happen.

He shares insights on:

- What the event was like this year.

- What it is like being on the IOC and the work involved.

- The various events run by SNEV.

- Why it's a great idea to get involved in societies and conference organising.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode we Liam speaks to Dr Metka Lenassi who leads a research group based in Slovenia with a focus on extracellular vesicles (EVs) in HIV. Metka was, until recently ,the ISEV Executive Chair of Science and Journals. We discuss what is involved in this position and more generally what is the process of joining the ISEV executive committee. Metka was also part of the IOC organizing the recent ISEV EV Biomolecular Corona workshop in Italy. Metka fills us in on some of what took place at this workshop.

In this episode of the SNEV podcast we hear from Guillaume Van Niel about what the field was like in the early days of the first International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) meeting and the organizations founding. How there was little awareness at the time that it would expand to be the field we know today. Guillaume also shares his thinking behind writing one of the most highly cited reviews in the extracellular vesicle (EV) field. This discussion may give you some useful insights into EV cell biology/intercellular communication, using zebra fish models for EV research and writing your own reviews.

Join us for an exciting conversation with Dr. Esther Nolte-'t Hoen, a leading expert in the EV field and their fascinating interactions with viruses! 🦠✨

In this episode, we dive deep into:
🔬 How EVs play a role in viral infections and immunity
💡 Using flow cytometry to characterise EV subpopulations
🚀 Starting NLSEV and importance of collaboration
Whether you're a scientist, student, or just curious about these tiny messengers shaping our health, this episode is for you! 🎧

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Charles Lai, a leading researcher pioneering new approaches in extracellular vesicle (EV) imaging and visualization. Dr. Lai takes us into the microscopic world of EVs, tiny particles that play huge roles in cell-to-cell communication and could revolutionize fields ranging from diagnostics to regenerative medicine. Dr. Lai explains the intricacies of visualizing these particles in real-time and why it's crucial for advancing precision medicine. We dive deep into the techniques he and his team have developed, exploring how they’re overcoming challenges in capturing these elusive vesicles and what this breakthrough means for understanding diseases at the molecular level.

Whether you're a researcher, biotech enthusiast, or just curious about the future of medical imaging, this episode is packed with insights that you won’t want to miss!
