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
Live imaging the earliest events during tumour initiation
Yi Feng’s group uses a combination of live imaging and genetic analysis in zebrafish larvae to study the earliest events of tumour initiation and progression, in vivo and in real time. They focus on the interactions between transformed cells, normal host tissue and infiltrating innate immune cells. Their research is aimed at understanding the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating tumour initiation, and the contribution of inflammation to tumour promotion with the aim of identifying fundamental mechanisms, which will underpin novel therapeutic approaches.
