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
Sympathetic neuroimmune interactions regulating outcomes of viral infection and cancer
In-person only
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.
