Dear Colleagues,
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we extend this heartfelt invitation on behalf of the Turkish Community for Extracellular Vesicles and the organizing committee. You are cordially invited to join us for the 2nd Extracellular Vesicles Conference (TURSEV-26), which will take place at Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Türkiye on June 5-6, 2026.
Building upon the remarkable success of our first conference in 2024, which brought together an exceptional gathering of researchers and practitioners with the invaluable support of our young community, we are proud to make this important scientific gathering a sustainable conference series.
TURSEV-26 will continue to explore the fascinating world of extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, apoptosomes, oncosomes, and their applications in both human and veterinary clinics. This gathering presents a unique opportunity for leading researchers, respected academics, industry experts, and students to share insights and discoveries at the forefront of extracellular vesicles research and advancements.
Under the continued leadership of our dedicated chairs, we are committed to encouraging collaboration and stimulating discussions that are essential to advancing extracellular vesicles science. We are also excited to announce that we are now accepting offers for hosting future conferences in this series, as we work together to expand the reach and impact of TURSEV across the country and beyond.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ankara for TURSEV-26, where together, we will continue our journey of discovery and innovation in extracellular vesicles research.

Ankara, Türkiye's capital, is a historic city with roots dating back to ancient civilizations. Formerly known as Ancyra and Angora, it served as the capital of Galatia and later the Roman province with the same name. Positioned in central Anatolia, Ankara's urban center houses 5.1 million people, making it Turkey's second-largest city. The historic center features the remnants of Ankara Castle, offering a glimpse into its diverse past.
An integral player in Turkish history, Ankara became the political center during the establishment of the Grand National Assembly in 1920 and assumed the role of the national capital in 1923. Beyond its governmental significance, Ankara is a thriving commercial and industrial hub, strategically located at the crossroads of Turkey's transportation networks. The city seamlessly blends its historical heritage with modern vitality, symbolizing resilience and progress in the heart of Turkey.
