Vesicles, Extracellular RNA and Infectious Disease workshop We are delighted that the keynote lecture will be given by Prof Andy Hill from La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and current president of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles. Andy Hill's personal website International Society for Extracellular Vesicles Andy will be joined by several speakers from Edinburgh to discuss this exciting new aspect of infection biology. There will also be a poster session to allow more informal discussions.
