During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We study the positional information conferred by the morphogens Sonic Hedgehog and BMP in neural tube patterning. We use the mathematics of information theory to quantify the information that cells use to decide their fate. We study the encoding, recoding and decoding that take place as the morphogen gradient is formed, triggers a nuclear response and determines cell fates using a gene regulatory network.
