OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

What determines oncogenic competence?
This is a hybrid event - with the speaker attending in-person and viewable on Teams.
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.
