Genetic Variation in Inflammation and Immunity

Series
Translational Medicine
Embed
Dr Julian Knight explains how new insights into genetic variants which modulate gene expression allow us to better understand why people develop these diseases, and allow us to target treatments more effectively.
Dr Julian Knight studies how genetic variation between individuals affect the way immune and inflammatory genes are expressed. This helps understand genetic susceptibility to common conditions such as infectious, inflammatory or autoimmune diseases. He recently published a book titled 'Human Genetic Diversity, functional consequences for health and disease'. Genetic variation plays an important role in individual susceptibility to many common diseases.

Integrating Technology, Science, Law, Economics, and Politics: Development of Practical Policy for Carbon Capture and Storage

Series
Oxford Martin School: Public Lectures and Seminars
Embed
Dr Kenneth Richards, James Martin Senior Visiting Fellow on how carbon capture and storage (CCS) provides a potentially promising approach to mitigating carbon dioxide emissions.
However, as with virtually all major new technologies, deployment will require careful consideration of a number of issues - including geology, property rights, transactions costs, politics, and legislative strategy. This discussion will illustrate how multiple fields of study have been integrated to synthesize a practical solution in the United States.
