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.
My research focuses on the emerging concept that tumours are complex, evolving ecosystems with dynamic crosstalk between cancer and normal cells. Understanding how genetically diverse cancer cells adapt to and manipulate their microenvironment is critical for deciphering drivers of cancer progression and evolution. To answer specific questions for a disease type, my team develops new approaches that are fusions of pathological image analysis, bioinformatics and ecological statistics. I will discuss how our study on spatial heterogeneity of immune response led to new appreciation of its clinical relevance in breast cancer within the context of clinical trials, and our recent progress on studying the relationship between microenvironmental diversification and lung cancer evolution in TRACERx.
