OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
How far are we from designing an antibody therapeutic on a computer?
Antibodies play a key role in the immune system and our response to vaccines, and have shown great promise as biotherapeutics. The development of new biotherapeutics typically takes many years and requires over $1bn in investment. Computational methods and in particular, machine learning, have shown great promise for increasing the speed and reducing the cost of biotherapeutic development.
In this talk I will describe some of the novel computational tools and databases we are pioneering in biotherapeutics from accurate rapid structure prediction to the prediction of their affinity and binding, looking at both their promise and limitations.
