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.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Understanding how immune cells operate within tissues is key to designing better mucosal vaccines and therapies. In this talk, I will discuss how hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) shapes CD4 T cell fate within lung tertiary lymphoid structures during influenza infection. Using spatial transcriptomics and inducible gene deletion, we uncover a distinct population of HIF-1α+ T cells that orchestrates local immunity—supporting antibody production, innate cell recruitment, and tissue homeostasis.
