OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
From Models to Mechanisms: Targeting BBB Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration Models
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.
