Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In 2015, three employees of Novartis Vaccines published a paper in Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery entitled: Vaccines on Demand: Science Fiction or a Future Reality. This talk will describe the events and data leading up to this publication, starting with the initiation of the self-amplifying mRNA (SAM) vaccines platform in 2008 at the Novartis Vaccines US R&D facility in Cambridge Massachusetts. It will conclude with an overview of what has happen since 2015 and the prospects for vaccines on demand.
