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
My group are primarily interested how insulin regulates the transport of glucose into fat and muscle tissues. This process is important for lowering blood glucose after a meal, and impaired insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (or insulin resistance) is a risk factor for a number of metabolic disease including type 2 diabetes. I will discuss how we have used genomics, proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses to shed light on new regulators of insulin-stimulated glucose transport and how this process is dysregulated in insulin resistance.
