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
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.
