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
‘C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is highly concentrated in endothelial cells but its physiological role(s) in the cardiovascular system are poorly defined. Prof. Hobbs’ lab has a long-standing interest in the physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology of this peptide, and developed novel pharmacological and genetic tools to dissect the key processes CNP regulates in both the vasculature and the heart.’ His work has identified a fundamental vasoprotective role of endothelium-derived CNP in modulating vascular tone, blood vessel morphology, the reactivity of leukocytes and platelets, and the development of atheroma and aneurism. More recently, these approaches have revealed critical physiological and pathological roles of CNP in the myocardium.’
