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
Unlike many other solid tumours, ovarian cancer seldom spreads outside the abdominal cavity. The most common cause of death is malnutrition secondary to intestinal obstruction because of abdominal metastasis. Understanding the key mechanisms involved in driving abdominal metastases is important for the development of novel strategies to prevent metastasis. In this talk, Dr. Ahmed will present his group’s recent work on enhancing chemotherapy response and preventing ovarian cancer metastasis as well as his ongoing work on monitoring the evolution of micrometastasis on a genome-wide scale.
