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.
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.
