OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

iPSC models of Tauopathy
Dr Kathryn Bowles’ primary interest is in understanding the genetic and mechanistic biology underlying tauopathy. She completed her PhD at Cardiff University in Prof Lesley Jones’ lab, before moving to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, where she joined Prof Alison Goate’s lab as a postdoctoral fellow. She then joined the University of Edinburgh UK DRI to start her own lab in 2022, where her work is supported by the BrightFocus Foundation and the Rainwater Charitable Foundation. Dr Bowles’ lab integrates functional genomics, biochemistry and iPSC organoid models to investigate the regulation of MAPT expression, function and splicing, and how these processes contribute to Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson’s disease and other tauopathies.
