OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Ageing is a major risk factor for many diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancers. My research focuses on understanding how intestinal stem cells function in rodents with varying lifespans. Using comparative analyses between short-lived mice and long-lived naked mole rats, we have recently shown that adult stem cell activity varies significantly between these species. Mimicking the biology of naked mole rats has the potential to reverse age-related decline in tissue function in humans.
