Education
Coordinator: Roger P. Alexander
Developed by the ERCC Scientific Outreach Working Group, this course aims to provide basic knowledge about exRNA, including the history of research in the field, a survey of classes of exRNA, their molecular carriers, and their distribution in biofluids, techniques for purification and characterization of exRNA, and applications in diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Instructor: Cecilia Lasser
Presented by Coursera and the UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education, this course aims to provide basic knowledge about extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes, oncosomes, prostasomes, and many others. It covers areas such as EV history, nomenclature, biogenesis, and EV cargo, as well as release and uptake mechanisms, collection and processing prior to isolation, isolation methods, and characterization and quantification techniques.
Instructor: Carolina Soekmadji
Presented by Coursera and the UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education, this course aims to provide current understanding about extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their role in health and disease. EVs are known to be involved in cell-to-cell communication. Apart from maintaining normal cell physiology, EVs deliver messages that can drive or influence the progression of a disease. This course discusses recent advances in understanding their function in both these areas.

In April 2021, the ERCC hosted a free online workshop on exRNA data analysis. There were three target audiences: experimentalists generating exRNA-seq data, computational and data scientists who have worked with those groups to analyze their data, and other interested data scientists. Our goal was to foster an open dialog about best practices and open problems in exRNA data analysis, focusing mainly on small exRNA sequencing data.

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), usually at 10 am Pacific / 12 noon Central / 1 pm Eastern time, but see the schedule.
