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
Novel multi-omics approaches to understand immune cell biology in health and disease
Immunological health relies on a balance between the ability to mount an immune response against potential pathogens and tolerance to self. However, how we keep that balance in health and what goes wrong in disease is not well understood. Here, I will describe combination of novel experimental and computational approaches using multi-omics datasets, imaging and functional experiments to dissect the role and defects in immune cells across several disease areas in cancer and autoimmunity. We show how shared mechanisms that are disrupted across diseases, including cellular, migration, immuno-surveillance, regulation and activation, as well as the immunological features associated with better prognosis and immunomodulation.
