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.

Congenital Heart Defects Genetics – The Hadassah experience 2013-2020
If you would like to meet with Dr Ta-Shma in the afternoon, please email, Donna (brcpa@well.ox.ac.uk).
A sandwich lunch will be offered, so please specify any dietary requirements when booking.
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.
