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
Dr. Hai Qi received a Bachelor of Medicine from the Beijing Medical University in 1996 and a Ph.D. in Pathology from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 2003. After postdoctoral training at NIH with Dr. Ronald Germain, in 2009 he joined the faculty of Tsinghua University, where he is currently a Professor in Immunology. His group studies follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and germinal center biology with a particular emphasis on cell-cell interactions, cell migration, and functional specialization. In this talk, Dr. Qi will present new findings on how territoriality and function of follicular helper T cells are regulated in the germinal center niche and how T cells impinge on the development of memory B cells.
