OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Autoimmune connective tissue diseases are associated with autoantibodies towards intracellular antigens. The potential immunopathogenic role for these autoantibodies remain elusive.
Although autoimmune connective tissue diseases have a specific clinical presentation, there is a huge overlap in both symptoms and clinical findings between the diseases. Our lack of knowledge has led to a high unmet need for better treatment options. Our focus for these diseases is how autoantibodies get in contact with their antigens and what this means for DNA and RNA intracellular sensing.
