OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dissecting Reacitve Oxygen Species Biology in Health and Disease
In-person only
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 I will present some published work and unpublished findings on EROS’s role in adaptive immunity and a novel regulator of reactive oxygen species generation.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).
