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
Geneticists and biochemists both tend to represent signalling pathways as diagrams where abstract arrows connect molecular components. Yet signalling doesn’t occur in abstract space but within and between cells, so the cell biology of they systems needs to be considered. Our work on the interface of signalling and cell biology started with Drosophila genetics but is increasingly focused on the cell biology of proteins of the rhomboid-like superfamily. We are currently particularly studying the control of inflammatory and growth factor signalling in mammals.
