How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Virtual BMS Divisional Seminar: Quantifying the nanoscale organisation of the T cell immunological synapse, Professor Dylan Owen, Institute of Immunology and Immunotherapy, University of Birmingham
via Zoom

Abstract: CD4 positive Helper T cells form an essential component of the adaptive immune response. As such, they are required to activate when required - to ward off infection, and remain inactive when confronted with the body’s own tissues – to avoid autoimmune disease. It is now known that a mechanism partly responsible for this tight regulation is nanoscale protein spatio-temporal organization, especially the nanoclustering of surface proteins. Here, I will outline my lab’s latest work on quantifying the nanoscale organization of protein using super-resolution microscopy via single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). In particular, I will focus on many-colour quantitative statistical cluster analysis and stochastically accurate DNA-PAINT imaging. These are applied to a negative regulating pathway involving Csk, TRAF3 and PAG which is relevant to autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and diabetes. I will also outline out latest work analysing the spatial organization of membrane lipids using environmentally-sensitive lipid probes and advanced microscopy.
