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.
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.
