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
Professor Patrik Verstreken is the Scientific Director & Group Leader at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research (Belgium), and a professor at the Department of Neurosciences at KU Leuven.
Patrik’s research aims at deepening our understanding of synaptic function in health and neurodegenerative disease. Using advanced iPSC-derived human neuronal circuits, rodent models and fruit flies, his work has focused on key proteins, lipids and mitochondria that regulate synaptic activity and how these molecules and organelles are misregulated in Parkinson’s disease. This research has led to the discovery of specific presynaptic and organellar defects in Tauopathies and Parkinson’s disease and in strategies how to suppress these defects.
