On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Tissues are made up of cells surrounded by a complex and site specific 3D network of extracellular matrix. Emerging multi-omic technologies provide high resolution information that allows us to deconstruct the cellular and matrix components of all human tissues, to map their organization into spatially distinct local neighbourhoods, and to reconstruct the bidirectional conversations between cells and their microenvironment that dictate homeostatic tissue structure and function.
Understanding how this dialogue changes in disease, and in particular within the tumor microenvironment, reveals a rich source of novel, tractable, therapeutic targets with which to alter the immune axis, preventing tumor subversion of host defence and re-instating tumor-destructive inflammatory programmes.
