Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
How are the many distinct cell types that characterize a mature nervous system genetically specified? For a terminally differentiating neuron this question boils down to a gene regulatory question: how is the expression of the distinct batteries of genes that define the terminal, functional properties of a distinct neuron type induced and maintained? Using genetic loss-of-function approaches in the nematode C.elegans, my laboratory has begun to uncover what appear to be simple, phylogenetically conserved principles underlying the generation of diverse neuronal identities.
