OxTalks is Changing
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.
What’s lipids got to do with it? What’s lipids, but a second-hand emulsion?
Integral membrane proteins that are embedded in the cellular plasma membrane make up the vast majority of all approved drug targets. However, the contributions of the membrane lipids to the function and behavior of these membrane-embedded proteins have for years been neglected. Often the membrane itself is seen as just a ‘scaffold’ to hold the protein in place. Using a range of integrated computational and experimental methods (several developed specifically for this project), we explore the interactions between membrane proteins and their surrounding lipid environments to reveal just how intricate, detailed, and balanced the relationship is.
