OxTalks is Changing
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
Probiotic and Prebiotic modulation of Brain Function
Dr Burnet received a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry in 1985 from Hull University, an MSc in Neurochemistry from the Institute of Psychiatry, London, in 1986, and a PhD from Imperial College, London, in 1989. From 1989-1992, he was a post-doctoral Fogarty Visiting Fellow at the NIMH, USA, where he developed his interest in the neurobiology and treatment of psychiatric disorders. In 1992, Dr Burnet received an MRC Training Fellowship at the University Department of Psychiatry, Oxford, to study the neuropharmacology of antipsychotics drugs and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Dr Burnet is now an Associate Professor, and is currently investigating how the augmentation of gut microbial growth with prebiotics influences brain function.
