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
News of a significant deformation-causing gene called ADAMTS19, discovered by Dr Ta-Shma with colleagues from Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine Research Centre in Montreal, was published recently in Nature Genetics. Working with Hadassah’s head of the Dept of Genetics and Metabolic Disease, Prof Orly Elpeleg, Dr Ta-Shma has previously discovered seven genes related to fetal hearts becoming misshapen and diseased. For one of these genes, TMEM260, Dr Ta-Shma recently collaborated with the Taylor Group & the 100K Genomes Project to help better define the phenotypic range of this rare condition.
