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.
I will discuss our work on the phagocyte NADPH oxdase (NOX2). This crucial multi-subunit complex generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill pathogens but is also essential for immune regulation. We have described EROS as a crucial chaperone for NOX2 assembly and inflammasome signalling. I will present some published work and unpublished findings on EROS’s role in adaptive immunity and a novel regulator of reactive oxygen species generation. I will then describe how investigating the Duox2-Duoxa2 system in ROS generation led us to discover an essential role of thyroid hormone in NK cell biology. This is a collaboration with Alice Denton (Imperial College).
