Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
