OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Positional information theory
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.
