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
Research in the Elvassore laboratory combines engineering principles with basic biological science to rationally understand the mechanisms governing cell and tissue behavior. We developed reprogramming of human somatic cells to hiPSCs with high efficiency using microfluidics. We showed that nascent states of pluripotency, naïve and primed, have full developmental potential in three-dimension (3D), which enables the morphogenesis of functional organoids. We developed intravital 3D bioprinting technology to control, in space and time, the narrative design of 3D culture systems, acting on the ECM architecture. This intravital technology will also provide an unprecedented tool to control organoid shape in vivo, as well as to quantify mechanical forces at the tissue scale during vertebrate morphogenesis.
