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.

The multilayered identity of B cell memory
In-person only
A hallmark of the adaptive immune system is its ability to generate long-lasting memory that protects against reinfections. In antibody-mediated responses, memory is maintained by plasma cells and memory B-cells (MBCs), with a diverse pool of MBCs being important for responses to new pathogen variants. Mechanisms underlying MBCs’ longevity, rapid responsiveness, and diversity remain largely unknown. This talk will focus on published and unpublished results that unravel key aspects of MBC heterogeneity and how this influences their function and maintenance.
