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
Biography – Arno Alpi received his PhD at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry and the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, followed by a Postdoctoral study at the MRC-LMB, Cambridge with Prof KJ Patel, where Arno got interested in ubiquitin-mediated cell signalling in DNA damage response and the chromosome instability syndrome, Fanconi Anaemia. He then headed labs at the MRC-PPU, University of Dundee, and the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Munich, before moving back to Scotland in spring 2024 to join the Institute of Cell Biology at the University of Edinburgh. His current research interests focus on haematopoiesis and on how the ubiquitin system, in particular the multiprotein CTLH E3 ligase, modulates metabolism and gene regulation in red blood cell development.
