OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dr Mootaz Salman (University of Oxford) will explore how innovative organoid and 3-D brain models are advancing our understanding of blood–brain barrier dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. By integrating cellular neuroscience, bioengineering, and disease modelling, his work reveals how inflammation- and mechanically-driven changes contribute to barrier breakdown and neuronal decline. This research offers new insights into the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and highlights emerging therapeutic strategies to restore brain health.
