OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
I will describe research in two areas of interest to my laboratoy: (1) electron cryotomography and three-dimensional reconstruction of the thin edge of frozen-hydrated cells to understand cytoskeletal architecture and to understanding the packaging of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in rod-shape granules in endothelial cells called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). (2) three-dimensional reconstruction of lipid-enveloped influenza viruses to understand virus assembly and entry into cells during infection. Lastly, I will discuss methods for improving cryomicroscopy images from the molecular to the cellular scale.
