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
In recent years, circadian rhythms are more and more accepted to play a significant role in a number of diseases, based on a growing understanding of their mechanism and relevance for physiology and disease. This progress is depending on measuring clock parameters such as period and phase as well as amplitude. Here, I will focus on what we can learn from pre-clinical models by highlighting two recent projects our group is involved in: (1) A novel tissue-specific circadian reporter mouse model, and (2) developing methods to determine clock status from transcriptomic data making use of the interdependence of clock gene expression.
