<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On October 7–8, 2026, the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences will host the annual meeting of the Baltic Society for Extracellular Vesicles, titled “Translational EV Research: Advances and Challenges.” The event will bring together researchers, clinicians, biotechnology professionals, and students from across Europe to discuss the latest advances in extracellular vesicle research and their applications in diagnostics and therapeutics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conference will feature presentations by internationally recognized experts, including Antje Maria Zickler (Karolinska Institutet, Sweden), Marcin Jurga (EXO Biologics, Belgium), Tomás Dias (Mursla Bio, United Kingdom), and Alireza Fazeli (Estonian University of Life Sciences, Estonia). The scientific program will also include oral and poster presentations, sessions for early-career researchers, and discussions on emerging directions in extracellular vesicle research.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On October 6, the day before the conference, participants are invited to attend a pre-conference workshop focused on extracellular vesicle research methodologies. The workshop will offer an opportunity to explore current approaches to vesicle isolation, characterization, and analysis; discuss their applications in biomedical research; and gain practical insights from experts in the field.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conference aims not only to foster scientific exchange but also to strengthen the growing extracellular vesicle research community. Alongside the scientific program, participants will have opportunities to network and engage in informal discussions, including a unique virtual reality experience showcasing the work of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, one of Lithuania’s most celebrated cultural figures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We warmly invite researchers, clinicians, students, and professionals interested in extracellular vesicle research to join us in Kaunas and become part of the growing international extracellular vesicle community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Venue:</strong> Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kaunas</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pre-conference workshop:</strong> October 6, 2026</p>

</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This day will serve not only as a space for intensive practical training, but also as an opportunity to meet practicing lifestyle medicine and other healthcare professionals who will share their experience, clinical examples, and insights from everyday practice.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to the health coaching workshop, the pre‑conference will include practical session focused on developing clinical reasoning skills in lifestyle medicine.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the practical clinical case analysis workshop, healthcare professionals will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge&nbsp;in&nbsp;lifestyle medicine and learn to apply it systematically in everyday clinical practice.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the interactive sessions, real clinical patient cases will be examined by integrating theoretical foundations of lifestyle medicine with practical decision‑making. Participants will learn to connect a patient’s diseases, symptoms, and clinical data with lifestyle risk factors,&nbsp;identify&nbsp;priority problems, and develop an individualized lifestyle medicine intervention plan.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The mechanisms of action of various interventions, their clinical relevance, applicability, and implementation barriers will be explored. The workshop will be enriched with idea generation, teamwork, discussions, and the sharing of professional experience.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, a third practical workshop will be led by an international team of three specialists.&nbsp;LSMU will be represented by Prof. Vilma Kriaučionienė from the Department of Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Public Health – a physician, lifestyle medicine&nbsp;specialist&nbsp;and researcher with many years of experience in studying population nutrition, risk factors for obesity and other chronic diseases, and their prevention.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She will be joined by colleagues from the Institute of Human Nutrition Sciences at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences: Prof. Danuta Gajewska – a dietitian and researcher whose professional and scientific work focuses on the prevention and dietary management of obesity, cardiovascular and other chronic diseases, as well as the dietary management of inflammatory conditions and food allergies; and Prof. Joanna Myszkowska-Ryciak&nbsp;– a dietitian&nbsp;specialising&nbsp;in child nutrition, obesity, eating disorders and the prevention of nutrition-related diseases, an active participant in international projects, and Vice-President of the Polish Dietetic Association.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In these interactive, case-based workshops, participants will&nbsp;analyse&nbsp;clinical cases, assess patients’ dietary habits and nutrition-related problems, discuss factors influencing dietary change, and develop a “menu” of clinically&nbsp;appropriate solutions. They will also explore how to communicate with a patient who believes that following a strict diet is the only way to lose weight.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Working in groups, participants will discuss which dietary changes should be&nbsp;prioritised&nbsp;for each patient, formulate a patient-centred&nbsp;SMART goal, and develop a long-term follow-up plan. Presentation of&nbsp;the clinical&nbsp;decisions and a joint discussion will&nbsp;provide&nbsp;an opportunity to share professional insights and learn from different perspectives.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This event is designed for both beginners and experienced professionals who wish to strengthen their skills in supporting patient behavior change and creating sustainable, patient‑centered solutions — it will be a space for safe experimentation and learning.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During&nbsp;the&nbsp;event,&nbsp;you&nbsp;will&nbsp;also&nbsp;enjoy&nbsp;delicious&nbsp;snacks.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the end of the event the participants are invited to a guided tour at the Museum of the History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy.</p>
