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
Our research focuses on understanding mammalian organ development, with a focus on the development of the heart and head muscles, by studying mouse gastrulation. We identify multipotent progenitors expressing Mesp1 during this phase, which contribute to both muscle types. Investigating their migration, we’ve found distinct signaling landscapes and identified essential effectors influencing progenitor migration. Additionally, we’re using gastruloids, an in vitro model mimicking gastrulation, to study cardiac and skeletal muscle development, highlighting their potential for investigating congenital diseases affecting cell lineages.
