During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, 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
