OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
