The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) is an international scientific organization that focuses on advancing global extracellular vesicle (EV) research. These membrane-bound particles are released from all known cells and include exosomes, ectosomes, exophers, oncosomes, and more. Established in 2011, the society is a nonprofit organization. It is governed by an executive committee. The current president is Kenneth Witwer. Previous presidents were Edit Buzás (2022-2024), Clotilde Théry (2018-2022), Andrew Hill (2016-2018) and founding president Jan Lötvall (2011-2016). The society's journals are the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles and the Journal of Extracellular Biology. ISEV also publishes the international consensus guidelines for EV studies, the "Minimal information for studies of EVs" (MISEV).
ISEV has several committees (Meetings and Programs, Science and Journals, Rigor and Standardization, Education, Translation, Regulation, and Advocacy Committee, and Communications and Membership) focused on advancing research and promoting awareness in the EVs. Each committee has specific roles and goals.
