Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Dr. Wolkers did her PhD in Ton Schumacher’s lab. After her postdoctoral training with Stephen Schoenberger (La Jolla Institute), Douglas Green (St. Jude’s Memphis), and Jan-Paul Medema (AmsterdamUMC-AMC), Dr. Wolkers started her group in 2010 at Sanquin Research, Amsterdam. Since then, she is fascinated by the molecular mechanisms that dictate CD8 T-cell effector function. Her group showed for instance that post-transcriptional mechanisms define the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and define their capacity to kill tumors and infected cells. Furthermore, her group uncovered surface markers that can distinguish cytotoxic from non-cytotoxic T cells, a tool that may be important for the development of effective T-cell therapies. Monika holds an ERC consolidator grant and is an Oncode Investigator.
