OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Genetic interactions in aortic arch artery morphogenesis
Speaker Bio:
Simon Bamforth completed his PhD under Prof John Greenwood at the Institute of Ophthalmology (University College London) investigating the effect of cytokines on the permeability of the blood-retinal barrier. He then undertook his first post-doctoral position at the Max Planck Institute for Clinical and Physiological Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, researching the role of the tight junction molecule Occludin on the blood-CNS barriers with Prof Werner Risau. His second post- doctoral position was at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (University of Oxford) working with Prof Shoumo Bhattacharya to develop and analyse the Cited2 knockout mouse which has a complex phenotype comprised of cardiovascular, neural tube, adrenal and left-right patterning defects. Simon then moved to Newcastle University after being awarded a British Heart Foundation Intermediate Basic Science Research Fellowship to investigate the roles of transcription factors, such as Pax9 and Tbx1, during cardiovascular development as well as analysing the processes underlying normal heart and great vessel morphogenesis.
