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
The Oxford University Society for Synthetic Biology (SynBio.Oxford) is very pleased to be hosting Dr Vitor Pinheiro (University College London) next week Wednesday. Dr Pinheiro is one of the UK’s leading Synthetic Biologists and an expert on the use of directed evolution to develop new enzyme tools and functions. Amongst other projects his groups studies the use of so-called Xeno-Nucleic Acids (XNAs) to create insulated genetic systems, and the engineering of aminoacyl tRNA synthetase proteins.
