The ERCC webinar series provides researchers studying extracellular RNA and extracellular vesicles the opportunity to present their latest work to a diverse audience. Webinars occur on the first Thursday of each month (except August) at 10 am Pacific / 12 noon Central / 1 pm Eastern time. Exceptions to the regular schedule will be announced here ahead of time.
Stay tuned for details about our next webinar, scheduled for Thursday January 7th, 2021.
