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.
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.
