OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
After completing her PhD in biochemistry in 2006, Dr Jacqueline Burré joined the laboratory of Dr. Thomas C. Südhof at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and later at Stanford University, California. In 2014, Dr. Burré joined the Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.
The Burré lab aims to understand molecular mechanisms underlying neurological diseases at the synapse. They are currently concentrating on synucleins in Parkinson’s disease, on Munc18-1/STXBP1 in childhood encephalopathies, and on SNAP-25 in epilepsy. They employ a variety of technologies, including biochemistry, cell biology, and imaging, combined with in vitro studies of purified proteins, C. elegans and mouse models of neuropathology.
