OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Insights into malaria parasite protein translation machinery and implications for drug discovery
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.
