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
Hugh Willison is Professor of Neurology at the University of Glasgow. He has pioneered the global effort to understand the aetiological basis for the major cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis worldwide, Guillain Barré syndrome. His work generated a mechanistic model of acute immune-mediated nerve injury that has been adopted worldwide as the gold-standard. Recently he has been involved in the effort to understand Zika virus-associated GBS, studying epidemics throughout Latin America via European Union projects. Professor Willison is co-director of the European School of Neuroimmunology that has trained over 4000 young scientists and clinicians over 20 years.
