OxTalks is Changing
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
Immune alterations in first-episode psychosis and the effects of natalizumab: A neuroimaging study with concurrent CSF measures
It is hypothesised that microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain, play a key role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To address this, we investigated the effects of 3-month treatment with the monoclonal antibody natalizumab on a PET biomarker of microglia, CSF cytokines, and symptom measures in people with first-episode psychosis. I will be presenting unpublished findings from this study and future directions.
This seminar is hosted in person at the Department of Psychiatry, Common Room. To join online, please use the Zoom details below:
