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
Brigitta Stockinger obtained her PhD in Biology at the University of Mainz and then did postdoctoral studies in London and Cambridge and Heidelberg. In 1985 she became a member of the Basel Institute for Immunology where she stayed until 1991.
In 1991 Gitta became a group leader in the Division of Molecular Immunology of the Medical Research Council National Institute for Medical Research (now part of the Francis Crick Institute). Her research initially focused on immune tolerance using T cell receptor transgenic mouse models as well as immunological memory of CD4 T cells, their generation and survival and more recently on deciphering the physiological functions of an environmental sensor, the transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) in the immune system.
Gitta obtained an ERC Advanced Investigator grant in 2009 to study physiological functions of AhR and in 2013 and 2018 was awarded Wellcome Senior Investigator Grant that will continue and expand the investigation of AhR in innate and adaptive immune cells as well as in epithelial cells of the intestinal barrier.
She became a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2005, an EMBO fellow in 2008 and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2013.
