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.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Alan Mackay-Sim is a leader in stem cell research and cell transplantation therapy. His research on the regeneration of the sense of smell led to the first clinical trial of a therapy to treat human paraplegia in which the patient’s own olfactory cells were transplanted into their injured spinal cord. Stem cells from patient’s olfactory epithelia are used to understand diseases such as schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, and to develop new drug therapies.
