Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
