Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We develop a novel method DeMixT for the gene expression deconvolution of three compartments in cancer patient samples: tumor, immune and surrounding stromal cells. In validation studies using mixed cell line and laser-capture microdissection data, DeMixT yielded accurate estimates for both cell proportions and compartment-specific expression profiles. Application to the head and neck cancer data shows DeMixT-based deconvolution provides an important step to link tumor transcriptome data with clinical outcomes.
