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.
Professor Virdee is a program leader at the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit, University of Dundee. He graduated from the University of Surrey in Computer-Aided Chemistry and then carried out a PhD in chemical and structural biology under the supervision of Prof. Gabriel Waksman (FRS). We then undertook postdoctoral research with Profs. Jason Chin (FRS) and David Komander at the LMB (Cambridge). His lab uses protein-based chemical probes to investigate the regulation and structure of ubiquitin E3 ligase (E3) enzymes. Using this approach his lab has identified novel classes of E3 enzymes that contain novel folds and use unprecedented mechanisms. These discoveries have also kickstarted the exciting field of non-lysine ubiquitination which his lab is also investigating. In this talk, Professor Virdee will summarise his labs research in these areas.
