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
Regulation of human pluripotent stem cell differentiation by the cell cycle
Siim Pauklin studies the molecular mechanisms that govern human pluripotent stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, particularly their specification to endoderm and to pancreatic insulin-producing beta-cells. He is interested in the function of TGFß / Activin / Nodal signalling pathway in these processes, since this pathway is essential for pluripotent stem cell self-renewal and early embryonic development but is also involved in human pathologies such as pancreatic cancer and diabetes. His talk will focus on his recent discoveries on the regulation of human pluripotent stem cell differentiation (Pauklin 2013 Cell; Pauklin 2015 Genes Dev; Bertero 2015 Genes Dev). This research has uncovered important mechanisms how stem cell differentiation is orchestrated by the cell cycle.
