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.
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.
