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 this talk I will discuss how inflammation and end-stage (senescent) T cells collaborate to induce immunopathology in the skin, using human cutaneous leishmaniasis as a model. The interactions involved are likely to translate to many other clinical situatioins where senescent T cells and infammatioin co-exist in tissue envirionments. This raises the question of how best to tackle the problem and to reduce tissue damage. Should the T cells themselves, or the inflamed microenviroenviromnent, or both be the focus of drug targets.
