During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Dr. Davalos investigates how microglia become activated when the brain vasculature is compromised, and how microglial responses affect neuronal function in physiological or pathological conditions. He performed the first in vivo imaging study of microglia and has developed novel methods for intravital microscopy of the brain and spinal cord in living mice. His research combines cutting-edge imaging techniques with molecular, cellular and genetic approaches to study the interactions between blood vessels, neurons, and glia, and understand how their relationships change between health and disease.
