UNIQ is open to students studying in their first year of further education, who are based at UK state schools or colleges. The Summer School provides an opportunity for students to receive first-hand experience of life at university, meet like-minded people and gain a deeper understanding of a subject that interests them.
The Department's third and final theme day of the year culminated in a series of exciting internal talks from a diverse range of research groups covering all aspects of integrative physiology. From diabetes to iron deficiency, from pH physiology to cancer cells, the talks showcased the huge breadth of science studied across DPAG.
The Department hosted a special public understanding of science lecture, the Sherrington Prize Lecture, delivered by Dr Jennifer Doudna FRS on Tuesday 25 June. Dr Doudna outlined research into CRISPR-cas9 gene editing to a captivated audience including graduate students and local sixth form Biology students.
A series of internal talks demonstrated an extensive breadth of research within the Development and Cell Biology Theme that tackles the questions fundamental to understanding evolution, growth, organ formation, the onset of disease and tissue regeneration. DPAG Researchers were also joined by two external speakers presenting their research into age-related angiocrine signals and stem cell strategies for lung development.
The talks given by Postdoctoral Research Scientists and Graduate Students highlighted the full range of research in DPAG, spanning molecular and cellular neuroscience all the way to systems neuroscience.
On Tuesday 7 May 2019, the Oxford University Cortex Club celebrated its 10th birthday with its founders, past and current members here at DPAG. The event marked a decade of successful student-run neuroscience events ranging from intense Q&A sessions to talks from world-leading scientists.
The annual lecture is held in honour of Sir Charles Sherrington, former Waynflete Professor of Physiology and Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Laureate, who coined the word \"synapse.\"
Three members of the Srinivas Group attended Cheney School's Iris Festival of Natural History, Classics, Art and More, bringing a stall of virtual reality and 3D printed models of embryos to engage students and the general public with how they study embryogenesis and heart development.
The annual lecture is held in honour of Marianne Fillenz, DPAG alumni and one of the great physiologists of the last century, who had a remarkable influence on generations of science and medical students.
Professor Dame Frances Ashcroft gives talk entitled \"The spark of life - the story of ion channels\" at Millfield School's Biology and Psychology Symposium to over 250 students from 11 local schools.
Professor Clarke gives talk entitled \u201cKetone drinks for endurance exercise\u201d at APC Microbiome Ireland's Public Event on Gut Health for Performance as part of Cork Science Festival 2018.
