OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
My lab is interested in how the innate immune response prioritizes what it responds to when faced with multiple simultaneous insults. This includes understanding how influenza A virus impacts the response to a secondary pulmonary infection with bacteria, and how pulmonary infections impact the ability to heal a cutaneous wound. Using several complementary models we have shown that lung infections cause a rapid, sustained, chemokine-dependent suppression of the innate immune wound healing response, and subsequently a delay in cutaneous wound healing. These data demonstrate a new biological premise of regulated immune prioritization.
