ASEMV Working Groups promote the development of specific areas within the fields of exosome and extracellular RNA (exRNA) research. ASEMV Working Groups are a direct extension of working groups that originated in the NIH Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium (ERCC). Their migration to the ASEMV ensures their continued operation, a broadening of their mission, and a larger, more diverse membership.

  2. identifying key unmet needs and opportunities;
  3. forming collaborative research teams;
  4. disseminating best practices & highlighting common obstacles;
  5. generating roster lists of expert reviewers;
  6. maintaining strong lines of communication via electronic & in-person meetings;
  7. posting their work at asemv.org in coordination with ASEMV staff.
