Recently we hosted the inaugural #NorthernEVNetwork meeting @universityofleeds.bsky.social which provided an excellent networking opportunity for EV researchers & highlighted the huge diversity and expertise in #extracellularvesicle research that is being conducted in Northern England.

Great to have @drkarenforbes.bsky.social opening the first Northern EV network meeting @universityofleeds.bsky.social ! Looking forward to a full day of all things #EVs
