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
The interplay of respiratory viruses and bacteria with host immune responses in the nose is crucial in determing the outcome of infections and the control of pathogen transmission.
Over the last decade we have developed a human infection challenge model with pneumococcus and have to date challenged over 2000 participants in several clinical studies including studies in eadults co-infected with respiratory viruses. This talk will summarise some of this work and the major findings we have made in respiratory infection responses and correlates of protection particularly in nasal and lung immunity.
