NutriEV takes the global stage in China
August 9–10, 2025 | Guangdong, China
The NutriEV Project is proud to announce that Professor Seppo Vainio, Scientific Coordinator of the project and a leading figure in biomedical innovation in Finland, has been invited to deliver a plenary lecture at the upcoming 2025 Global Conference on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Medicine-derived Extracellular Vesicles, held in Guangdong, China.
Hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine and co-organised by national academic bodies and research centres, this major international event is dedicated to advancing the science and innovation surrounding plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in therapeutic applications.
NutriEV: New paradigms in biosensing and targeted therapy
Professor Vainio’s plenary lecture—“NutriEV: New Paradigms for Targeted Therapeutic and Its Non-Invasive Efficacy Biosensoring”—will showcase the project’s cutting-edge research on nutrient-enriched EVs from plants and fermented foods. His talk will focus on how these naturally occurring nanocarriers can be harnessed for precision medicine, including non-invasive biosensing and targeted therapeutic delivery.
He serves as the Scientific Director of the Kvantum Institute and leads a research group at Infotech Oulu (University of Oulu). Vainio’s multidisciplinary expertise spans nanobiotechnology, biochemistry, functional genetics, organoid and cell modelling, and nanocellulose-based filtration technologies – brings a uniquely multidisciplinary perspective to this international forum.
Global synergies in herbal EV research
The Guangdong conference gathers researchers and practitioners from across Asia and beyond, exploring the integration of traditional Chinese medicine with modern biomedical approaches. Key themes include EV-based biomarker technologies, functional applications in dermatology and regeneration, and cross-sector cooperation to drive therapeutic innovation.
NutriEV’s participation signals growing global interest in food- and plant-derived EVs—not only as nutritional components, but as bioactive platforms with the potential to tackle pressing health challenges such as obesity and metabolic disorders.
Contributing to global dialogue
The presence of NutriEV at this international gathering underscores the project’s mission to foster scientific exchange, build bridges between disciplines, and inform the development of safe, effective, and sustainable health innovations.
The conference will take place at the Yuexiu International Conference Centre in Guangzhou from 9–10 August 2025.
