OxTalks is Changing
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.
Host-pathogen interactions in the diseased lung
Individuals with chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis and COPD are particularly vulnerable to bacterial infections. Clinically, these infections are challenging to manage and often persist for years, leading to chronic, difficult-to-treat infections. Over time, the bacteria diversify and adapt to the lung environment and the antibiotics used in treatment. In this talk, I will present our work using metagenomics and spatial transcriptomics to unravel bacterial adaptation and host-pathogen interactions. Our findings are transforming our fundamental understanding of chronic lung infections.
