On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
