On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
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
