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
I studied for my PhD at Imperial College London, where I was working on the regulation of cell-cell adhesion by small GTPases. My work explored how nutrient starvation impacted the spatio-temporal activity of these proteins, an area which I have continued to focus on throughout my career. My postdoctoral work at Newcastle University and now, as a Wellcome-funded Research Fellow in the School of Biochemistry at University of Bristol, is focused on understanding the molecular cell biology of the nutrient-responsive mTORC1-autophagy axis. The pro-growth mTORC1 pathway and the degradative autophagy-lysosome pathway control the dynamic balance between biosynthesis, degradation and recycling to maintain cellular proteostasis and homeostasis. We are studying the mechanisms controlling the spatial regulation and activity of these processes and how rewiring of this equilibrium contributes to cellular senescence (a tumour suppressor mechanism of cell cycle arrest).
