Announcing our Keynote Speaker (Prof. Dr. Basant Kumar Thakur)

15 December 2025 | Online

We are honored to welcome PD Dr. Basant Kumar Thakur as a distinguished speaker for our upcoming Stem Cells and Extracellular Vesicles Educational Day.

PD Dr. Basant Kumar Thakur – Group Leader, Cancer Exosome Research Lab

Department of Pediatrics III, University Hospital Essen (University of Duisburg-Essen), Germany

Research focus (Extracellular Vesicles & EV-associated DNA)

• Identification, purification, and characterization of cancer-specific EVs carrying dsDNA with biomarker and functional relevance.

• Mechanisms governing EV-associated dsDNA transfer into recipient cells.

• Functional consequences of EV-DNA transfer in the tumor microenvironment and metastatic progression (including innate DNA-sensing pathways).

Selected contributions and methods

• Development and application of enrichment strategies to isolate homogeneous EV sub-populations for downstream molecular analysis.

• Translational EV-biomarker work in pediatric leukemia models, supporting sensitive detection of leukemia-associated signals in EV fractions.

• Advanced EV analytics spanning single-particle/high-resolution microscopy and multi-parameter characterization approaches.
