On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Crosstalk between sympathetic nerves and immune cells is increasingly recognised as a crucial process for protection and recovery from viral infections and cancers. Yet, how sympathetic signalling alters immunity is still relatively poorly understood. We are using contemporary neuroscience tools to map neuron subsets that innervate lymphoid organs and tumours and define mechanisms of sympathetic neuroimmune crosstalk. Using chemogenetic and transgenic mouse models, intravital imaging, single cell transcriptomics and quantitative spatial imaging we describe dynamic modulation of neuronal functions by immune responses and reciprocal regulation of immune responses by sympathetic neurons.
