OxTalks is Changing
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.

Inherent symmetry and flexibility in hepatitis B virus subviral particles
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection presents a significant global health challenge, characterized by substantial morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Despite the existence of a preventive vaccine, current treatment options offer limited efficacy in clearing the virus, necessitating lifelong management. The diagnosis and prognosis of HBV heavily rely on its surface antigen (HBsAg). However, despite extensive research efforts, detailed high-resolution structures of HBsAg and its assembly on the virus envelope have remained elusive.
We have employed sophisticated strategies and advanced computational tools to uncover the near-atomic resolution structure of HBsAg and its assembly.
