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
The Cao Lab at BIOPIC, Peking University, and Changping Laboratory investigates humoral immunity and antibodies at single-cell and molecular levels, including:
Antibody response, immune escape, and immune imprinting in infectious diseases, including SARS-CoV-2
Development of antibody therapeutics and vaccines
Deciphering the relationship between targeting epitopes and functions of antibodies for various antigens
Computational and machine learning methods for modeling antibody-antigen interaction
