For anyone interested, there is a VCI training program in Canada called VAST (Vascular training Vascular Training (VAST) Platform) with a fair amount of content that is all open access. You can find more info on events here (and you can sign up to be a member for free): vast-training.org/events

I invite the CSM community to join me for this virtual event. Truth, Reconciliation and Institutional Decolonization: Paths Forward for the CSM. Our panel will reflect on the TRC Calls to Action, Indigenous Health Dialogue and the future. Learn more: events.ucalgary.ca/cumming/commun…

It’s not a vacation without a trip to the emerg! My track record isn’t improving…

Just published! This work demonstrates the feasibility of producing stem cell derived extracellular vesicles in scalable bioreactors under serum-free, physioxic conditions, for stimulating vessel formation in brain endothelial cells mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/1…

Our PaCER Training & Researcher Services team is recruiting participants to provide feedback on an educational video about Vascular Cognitive Impairment (co-developed with EPLED) - feedback will direct future revisions and educational tools! survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_bJ…

Geat discussions on the latest science on Vascular Cognitive Impairment #VCI 🧠 , organized by Vascular Training (VAST) Platform team in #Banff! Thanks for the invitation 🤝 #VCI includes all forms of cognitive disorders associated with vascular disease often coexisting with #Alzheimer’s disease.

Great VAST CONFERENCE Banff Alberta So much engagement, science, research, and PwLE working side by side to bring hope to all living with dementia

So grateful for this scientific community!

Big news! I'm excited to return to research this fall to test stem cell extracellular vesicles as treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias! Thank you Alzheimer Society of Canada for the funding, and Vascular Training (VAST) Platform for the motivation! 🔬👩‍🔬 Dr. Willerth Katherine Elvira (she/her)

🎉The EU has funded the doctoral network SECRET to explore the therapeutic potential of secretome components from perinatal cells, including #extracellularvesicles. Recruiting 10 PhD students! Please RT: 🗓 Application Deadline: September 16 🔗More info @ euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/262666

Excited to jump back into the EV world and also get to work with all of these superstars across the globe!
