The Bajpayee Lab represented Northeastern University at the 2026 International Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Preservation Summit (October 8 – 10th 2026, Porto, Portugal) with two presentations showcasing charge-engineered exosomes for cartilage gene therapy. Dr. Ambika Bajpayee delivered a plenary talk on Engineering Next-Generation Vesicles for Cartilage Gene Therapy, sharing the lab’s ongoing exosome work with the global orthopedics and cartilage research community. Andrew Selvadoss delivered a podium talk on cartilage-targeting exosomes and hybrid exosomes, next-generation non-viral carriers for cartilage mRNA and DNA therapy. This work, conducted by Dr. Helna Baby and Andrew and was selected as a one of five finalists for best the basic and translational science award. The lab was proud to share our work in the beautiful city of Porto!
