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
Controlling cell shape is an essential function of all cells, which allows adjusting and adapting to various environments and requirements. Moreover, it is crucial for a number of cellular processes, particularly during cell polarization and migration. The synergistic action of several signaling pathways initiates changes of the cell shape and the outcome is seen as a remodeling of membrane- or cytoskeleton structures that provide a binding platform for various factors.
We are interested in elucidating mechanisms of cell shape formation and downstream cytoskeleton remodeling using cryo-EM together with biochemical and biophysical approaches.
