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
Tobias completed his PhD at LMB/CPE (Cambridge) with Alan Fersht, before completing medical oncology education and CRUK fellowships also in Cambridge. He re-located his group to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2018. His work focuses on the body’s dynamic response to disease, in particular to cancer. Utilizing laboratory and clinical research paired with statistical modelling and bioinformatics, he aims to decipher the connections between metabolism, behaviour, endocrinology, and immunology. Areas that he is focused include the mechanistic effects of interleukin-6 and glucocorticoid secretion in cancer progression and cachexia, a highly debilitating wasting syndrome of the whole body that is commonly experienced by patients with cancers. This approach reflects the idea that cancer cannot be either understood or treated by investigating tumours in isolation. Tobias currently co-directs the international CRUK Grand Challenge in Cancer Cachexia awarded in 2022.
