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.
Oncogenes are not able to initiate tumours in all cellular contexts, a phenomenon referred to as oncogenic competence. Such competence depends on both cell-intrinsic programs (i.e. developmental and epigenetic state) as well as cell-extrinsic influences from the TME. To study this, we have developed zebrafish and human pluripotent stem cell models of melanoma. In the talk, I will discuss how convergence of intrinsic and extrinsic programs determines the likelihood of oncogenic transformation.
