Since 2013, the Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium has been working to understand the biological functions of extracellular RNAs and vesicles in the healthy body and in disease, to identify biomarkers of disease that can be assayed from biofluids rather than through an invasive biopsy, and to develop therapies for disease using extracellular RNA and extracellular vesicles.

The ERCC’s 9th semi-annual meeting, ERCC9, was held on November 6-7, 2017 at the Hilton Washington DC / Rockville Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, Rockville, Maryland. ERCC9 was the first consortium meeting open to the public, and we hope all participants agree that the conference strengthened the field of exRNA research going forward, providing cross-fertilization and opportunities for collaboration between consortium members and the wider scientific community.
