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.
My talk will cover how the microbiome develops in term infants and preterm infants. Within preterm infants, I will discuss how diet-microbe-host interaction has been linked to a range of health and disease outcomes, including necrotising enterocolitis. I will introduce a preterm human intestinal organoid model system we are using to advance our gut microbiome work. Such work has potential to develop novel disease biomarkers and targeted therapeutic interventions to promote health in preterm infants.
