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
Zebrafish models of cancer have emerged as powerful tools to image cancer progression and metastasis. When coupled with the robust genetic tools available in the model, it is an ideal system to dissect the in vivo interactions between tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment. In a screen for stromal factors supporting melanoma outgrowth, we have identified signals from the surrounding adipocytes as being major drivers of melanoma progression. The seminar will discuss the nature of the melanoma-adipocyte interactions including novel ways of interrupting this cross-talk.
