OxTalks is Changing
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
Epigenetic technologies to advance cancer detection and cancer biology
My laboratory is interested in understanding the chemical modifications of our genome, transcriptome, and proteome in human health and disease – cancer in particular – and translating this information into diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities that ultimately benefit patients. To do so, we use our unique expertise in chemical biology to develop cutting-edge technologies to decode the wealth of epigenetic information. Most notably, we developed TAPS, a revolutionary bisulfite-free and base-resolution direct sequencing method for DNA epigenetic modifications. We have further demonstrated the application of TAPS in cell-free DNA for accurate identification of early liver cancer and pancreatic cancer. Our ongoing efforts aim to establish a comprehensive human epigenetic tissue atlas, as well as develop single-cell epigenetic sequencing to study tumour heterogeneity. We are also developing novel RNA modification sequencing methods to decipher the epitranscriptome in cancer.
