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
Sterile inflammation results from the accidental activation of the innate immune system by one’s own molecules, in the absence of an infection. Such inflammation can occur when the cytosolic nucleic acid sensing receptors, which normally detect viral DNA or RNA, are triggered by our own nucleic acids, leading to unwanted innate immune activation. In our research we study the molecular mechanisms that prevent activation of the nucleic acid sensing machinery by our own RNA, and what happens if these mechanisms fail.
