Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. Despite intensive research over the last decades, our understanding of the complex disease progression is still rather limited. The talk will show how we use longitudianal multiomics characterization of patient-based induced pluripotent stem cells to identify underlying mechanisms of PD development in a top-down approach, and how the identified core mechanism of calcium-mediated mitochondrial control can be mechanistically investigated by combining experiments with computational modelling in an integrative bottom-up approach.
