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
‘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.’
