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.

We are delighted to welcome Professor Charlotte Deane, Professor of Structural Bioinformatics at the University of Oxford, to talk on ‘AI for antibody design – going beyond the static’.
The seminar will be chaired by Dr Matthew Raybould and will take place on 30 October, from 16:00 to 17:00, in the lecture theatre of the Richard Doll Building.
Abstract
The ability of proteins to adapt their shape can be fundamental to their function. Whilst we can now computationally predict a single, static protein structure with high accuracy, we are not yet able to reliably predict structural flexibility. A major factor limiting such predictions is the scarcity of suitable training data. Professor Deane will present novel tools and databases that help to overcome this.
