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
ALL WELCOME
Didier Stainier’s group investigates questions related to organogenesis including cell differentiation, tissue morphogenesis, organ homeostasis and function, as well as organ regeneration. In particular, they study these questions in zebrafish and utilize both forward and reverse genetic approaches, and aim to dissect cellular processes using high-resolution live imaging. Zebrafish, Danio rerio, offers unique advantages as a vertebrate genetic system and is also ideal for embryological studies. The zebrafish heart is accessible for continued observation and manipulation at all stages of development and offers single cell resolution of its components. Through several genome-wide screens in zebrafish, they have identified a large number of mutations that affect heart formation and function.
