OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Mechanisms Driving the Rapid Evolution of Genomes
Annual Jordan Translational Medicine Lecture - this is an in-person event only
David Pellman’s laboratory investigates how errors in cell division lead to catastrophic mutational events, genome instability, and cancer. His group has uncovered mechanisms linking nuclear architecture to chromothripsis and other major genomic rearrangements, revealing how abnormal nuclear structures contribute to tumour evolution. Their recent work explores how nuclear atypia can cause heritable changes in chromatin organisation and gene expression, advancing our understanding of genome instability in human disease.
