OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Flaviviruses are enveloped, positive-sense RNA viruses that hijack intracellular membranes to generate compartments for virion assembly and secretion. Autophagy is one such process that viruses routinely manipulate by diverting its physiological function to their own advantage. Lipid droplets are key organelles that reside at the interface of host immunity and infection. Autophagy-mediated lipid droplet degradation and its implications in progeny virion assembly and secretion will be discussed.
