OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Quantitative Approaches Towards Understanding Multicellular Organisation and Communication
This seminar will be held using Zoom. Please register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUvc-6hrT8oGNUvBHRYE_dYudaz8bR0Fa7l
Multicellular organisation requires the coordination of multiple signalling pathways that regulate cell shape as well as cell-cell and cell-microenvironment interactions. Such coordination is often lost in cancer resulting in changes in tissue architecture, uncontrolled growth, and metastasis. Imaging technologies provide a powerful approach to simultaneously study the signalling and organisational state of cells. I will discuss the development of machine learning and computer vision methodologies for automated identification of genetic programmes underlying tissue organisation. Importantly, these studies reveal that cell context and shape can modulate cell signalling even in isogenic cell cultures. Using orthogonal datasets and integrative approaches, we validate the clinical relevance of cell shape and context in patient prognosis.
