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
Over the past 7 years, our laboratory has dissected malaria parasite proteins that are involved in protein translation. Our work has highlighted the importance of parasitic tRNA synthetases as new druggable targets. We will discuss how the malaria parasite is able to utilise its resources to achieve protein translation in three separate cellular compartments. We will also discuss complex structures of two tRNA synthetases with natural product compounds, and analyse bases for development of drug resistance.
