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
Viral diversity remains a major challenge to HIV vaccine development. By applying concepts rooted in network theory to viral protein structure, we have developed an algorithm that identifies amino acid residues critical to the structure and function of HIV proteins. Functional data from persons who control HIV without medications demonstrate preferential CD8+ T cell recognition of highly networked residues predicted by the algorithm. Application of this knowledge to inform a rational T cell-based vaccine for HIV will be discussed.
