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.
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.
