On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Vaccine Formulation and Adjuvants group at the Jenner Institute in Oxford is focused on understanding and improving the immune response to vaccination through modulating the context and kinetics of delivering the vaccine antigen.
The seminar will cover recent published and unpublished data describing the mechanism of action of different vaccine adjuvants in the context of a leading malaria vaccine, and how triggering different innate pathways can lead to divergent yet equally effective adaptive responses in mice. The adjuvant-stimulated innate-adaptive pathways are validated and further explored in human lymph node tissue ex vivo, using transcriptomic and functional profiling. The talk will also cover the most recent advances on delivering prime-boost immunisation through a single injection using polymer microparticles encapsulating the booster-vaccine dose.
