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
Bio:
I am a medical doctor, and Doctor in Biomedical Sciences, Full professor in the University of Bio Bio (Chillan, Chile). I have been working for many years in the understanding of vascular alterations observed in mother, placenta and offspring exposed to preeclampsia. Currently, we are studying how the impaired function of the placenta may trigger a dysfunction in the brain vasculature, in particular in the formation of brain blood vessels and in the generation of the blood-brain barrier both in the mother and in the offspring.
Abstract:
The lecture will discuss our recent findings showing disruption of the blood-brain barrier mediated by placental extracellular vesicles in the mother; and the negative impact in brain angiogenesis in offspring from preeclampsia.
