Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The trillions of bacteria that constitutively colonize our intestines (our gut microbiota) produce tens of thousands of small molecule metabolites that can potentially affect nearly all aspects of human physiology. However, the biological functions of the vast majority of these metabolites remain undiscovered. We are pursuing an orthogonal approach to this problem, where we use host sensing of microbiota metabolites by defined receptors as a lens to illuminate the ‘dark matter’ of the bioactive microbiota metabolome. We believe that this approach will eventually enable us to mine the full depths of the bioactive microbiota metabolome.
