Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
