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.
Finding novel treatments that protect motor neurons from degeneration remains a cornerstone of therapeutic development for motor neuron diseases such as ALS and SMA. In this talk I will present my lab’s identification of bioenergetics pathways as important, endogenous regulators of motor neuron stability in vivo. I will discuss how activation of PGK1 represents an attractive therapeutic in this regard, and present ongoing work to translate pre-clinical findings into clinical trials for patients with ALS.
