Corny or not: time flies when you're having fun! This will be the last Cafe of 2018 already. We have had a lot of awesome speakers, developments and discussions last year and the last one will not provide any less. Let's go out with a bang before we completely dive into the December holiday spirit. See you then!

MyMicroZoo helps people to gain insight into their own bacterial gut content, the microbiota. The services provided by MyMicroZoo™ allow consumers to compare their gut bacteria with others and also to understand the effect changes in lifestyle, diet and sports activity have on the gut bacteria population.

Cellular Vesicles as Trojan Horse to Deliver Gene Therapeutics

Jeroen de Vrij

Cells of our human body secrete tiny vesicles, called exosomes, with powerful properties to deliver biological payload over long distances. ExoVectory (spin-out from the Erasmus MC, Rotterdam) uses unique packaging technology to load exosomes with therapeutic DNA. Proofs-of-concept have been obtained for cancer treatment, including deep delivery towards glioblastoma cells into the brain. Incredibly long DNA constructs can be delivered, including full genomes of cancer-killing (oncolytic) viruses. ExoVectory’s ability to incorporate long DNA also opens unique opportunities in the field of genome engineering, enabling better delivery of molecular scissor tools, such as CRISPR-Cas. ExoVectory’s mission is to translate its technology towards improved treatment of cancers and genetic diseases.
