OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, 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.
