OxTalks is Changing
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.
Epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of pathogens in time and space
Innovative population biologist Bryan T. Grenfell (2022 Kyoto Prize Laureate in Basic Sciences) whose methodology of analysis of pathogen evolution and epidemics has been instrumental in producing effective disease control measures gives a lecture for the Kyoto Prize at Oxford.
Grenfell proposed “phylodynamics,” a methodology that predicts infectious disease dynamics of RNA viruses by considering viral evolution, and thus contributed to the development of the research field that integrates immune dynamics, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology. By virtue of these achievements, he has been instrumental in understanding infection mechanisms and proposing effective infectious disease control policies.
This lecture takes place in a hybrid format. Please indicate below if you will attend online or in person.
