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
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.
