OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Broad-spectrum SARS-CoV-2 prophylactics designed based on viral evolution prediction
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
