On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In embryonic development, formation of the retinal vasculature is critically dependent on prior establishment of a mesh of astrocytes.
Astrocytes emerge from the optic nerve head and then migrate over the retinal surface in a radially symmetric manner and mature through
differentiation. We develop a PDE model describing the migration and differentiation of astrocytes, and numerical simulations are compared to
experimental data to assist in elucidating the mechanisms responsible for the distribution of astrocytes via parameter analysis. This is joint
work with Timothy Secomb.
