OxTalks is Changing
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
Illuminating the ‘dark matter’ of the gut microbiota metabolome
This seminar will be held using Zoom. Please register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcucu-gpjMvH9PJoOxgx1f6lvYSC7IDv50v
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.
