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
To kickstart their newest initiative – the Oxford Cancer Immuno-Oncology Network (OCION) – Oxford Cancer is hosting a launch event on Friday 23rd June at the Ashmolean Museum.
OCION is led by Professor Tim Elliott through Oxford Cancer, with support from Beth Mann, Senior Research Programme Manager. It aims to bring together scientists from different disciplines, cutting-edge technologies and patient samples to progress our immuno-oncology understanding to the next level. By applying Oxford’s leading expertise in fundamental immunology, OCION hopes to enable more patients, with a wide range of cancer types, to benefit safely from tailored immunotherapy use.
The event will consist of short talks followed by a networking drinks reception and will allow attendees to contribute to the OCION strategy. It will also mark the opening of the OCION Funding scheme, which aims to pump-prime innovative Oxford-based immuno-oncology research and build capacity in cancer immunology.
