Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
