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.
The regulated phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2) potently regulates global and gene-specific mRNA translation and thereby broadly affects proteostasis in diverse physiological and pathological settings. Phosphorylated eIF2 is a convergence point for several stress response pathways and its downstream effector processes are known as the integrated stress response (or ISR). In this talk I will review recent advances in our understanding of the ISR and its role in proteostasis.
