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
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.
