OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dr. Fletcher will discuss the journal Nature Genetics and what it is currently interested in. Offer advice on how to get papers published in Nature Genetics and other Nature journals and also offer some editorial career guidance.
Michael Fletcher studied for his Ph.D. at Cancer Research UK’s Cambridge Institute at the University of Cambridge in the laboratory of Bruce Ponder. His project used systems biology approaches to identify the functional mechanism by which FGFR2, a breast cancer risk locus identified using GWAS, exerts its effect. He then moved to Germany and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Molecular Genetics department of Peter Lichter at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, where he performed bioinformatics analysis to help characterize the epigenomic and master regulator landscapes of adult glioblastoma. He joined the journal Nature Genetics in 2020.
