Reflections from #ISEV2026 🇵🇷Great to see advances in the fields understanding of foundational and translational extracellular vesicle biology.

Thankful to @IsevOrg and our research funders including @bbsrc for the opportunity to attend and present @ImperialInfect @ajwebb1979

[Richard Kelwick @rkelwick]

Having a great time at #ISEV2026 international conference on extracellular vesicles #EVs

Already attended fascinating talks on EV biogenesis and engineering.

Thanks to @BBSRC for funding our EV research and @IsevOrg for the opportunity to present tomorrow!

A HUGE congratulations to our brilliant team on winning this year’s University Challenge 🥳

We are now the most successful team in University Challenge history!

Suraiya, Adam, Sourajit and Justin - you have done #OurImperial community so proud! Well done!👏🏼💙

[Richard Kelwick @rkelwick]

Outer membrane vesicles (#OMVs) are attractive vehicles for delivering therapeutic agents because of their ability to interact with host #cells and their natural immunogenic properties. Check out our article which we published last year in @VesiclesAcids https://t.co/sj5ebCjDOs

To celebrate #ImperialWomen, we talked to four women from four very different fields 💙

They're all at different career stages & have different experiences – showing there's no one way to be a scientist 🔗 https://t.co/HnpCJo0qxz
