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.

Alzheimer’s Disease – Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Intervention
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide, with no cure currently available. AD pathogenesis is primarily driven by cerebral accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ), a small peptide and proteolytic cleavage product of amyloid-β precursor protein (APP). Elucidating molecular mechanisms that change Aβ levels and APP processing could provide new insights for understanding disease etiology; and development of interventions that attenuate amyloid pathology may provide useful therapeutics for AD.
