OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

*CANCELLED* Tracking Jak-STAT signalling in inflammatory arthritis
Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change
Status: This talk has been cancelled
This event is now cancelled. Apologies for any inconveniences caused.
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are highly context dependent. Rheumatoid arthritis patients often display very different patterns of local synovial pathology– termed fibroblast-rich, myeloid-rich and lymphoid-rich synovitis. My overarching goal is to identify the decision-making processes affecting the clinical presentation of these synovial pathotypes. Combining functional genomic approaches and histological studies in mice and humans I will discuss how cells within the inflamed synovium sense and interpret cytokine cues linked with these pathotypes. With a primary focus on cytokines that signal through the latent transcription factors STAT1 and STAT3, I will provide new insights into the potential role of protein tyrosine phosphatases as biological rheostats of Jak-STAT signalling within the inflamed joint.
