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
B cells are important in the pathogenesis of many, and perhaps all, immune-mediated diseases. Here we describe methods that characterise the human adaptive immune response by high-throughput sequencing of B cell receptors and single cell transcriptomics. I will describe how we are using these technologies to understand the immune responses across health, autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiencies and cancer, and how we can leverage this knowledge gained across pathologies to direct us towards more targeted therapies.
