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
The overarching focus of my research program is understanding how the immune system can respond to multiple inflammatory insults at the same time. My laboratory has two main interrelated areas of focus: 1) understanding how coinfection with respiratory viral pathogens and bacteria or severe single infections compromises the innate immune response and host disease tolerance and 2) how lung infections compromise the immune response in a healing wound. I will address both these topics today in the context of the lung as a central regulator of not only the pulmonary immune response, but systemic responses during infection and injury.
