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.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Wan Seok Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at St. John’s University, New York, and has a broad research background in ferroptosis biology, chemical genetics, and cell and molecular biology.
Before joining St. John’s University, Wan was a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Brent Stockwell’s lab at Columbia University and was a core member who discovered ferroptosis and laid the groundwork for elucidating the ferroptosis mechanism. These discoveries include the identification of RSL3, a canonical ferroptosis inducer, from a high-throughput screening of small molecule library, the iron-dependent nature of ferroptotic cell death, and the identification of GPx4 as a target protein for RSL3.
Prior to joining Columbia University, Wan was in South Korea, where he earned a Ph.D. degree in Cell and Molecular Biology and a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
