Research led by Elliott Lab, in collab with COI Researchers Adán Pinto Fernández & Benedikt Kessler, has been published in Science Magazine. Increasing molecular understanding of how BIRC6 inhibits apoptosis, opening up avenues for cancer therapeutics. camsoxford.ox.ac.uk/news/BIRC6

Our scientific strategy committee visited BGI Group during their trip to Shenzhen this week.

The next COI Seminar is on Tuesday 21st February. Join us to hear from Benjamin Fairfax from OxfordOncology.

We're also looking for a lab technician to support the lab manager in their duties. Apply here: tinyurl.com/mrxyjfpj

This was a collaborative project with many authors including but not limited to: Zixi Yin Yanchun Peng Dr Dannielle Wellington Peter Wing Andrew Pollard Knight Genetics The Lambe Lab Tao Dong

Congratulations to Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert & Prof Michael Dustin on being elected as one of eight University of Oxford #RSFellows by the The Royal Society. The fellows are elected in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the advancement of science.

Professor Michael Dustin FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. His interests are focused on cell-cell synapsis in the immune system. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/michael…

Dame Sarah Gilbert FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 2020 Professor Gilbert became the Oxford Project Leader for a vaccine against the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, now used all over the world in the fight against #COVID19: #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/sarah-g…

In the latest issue of Nature Immunology we discuss 2 new studies that show that Vaccine-induced #CD8TCells are important for protection against #SARSCoV2. While these studies are increasing knowledge, there is still lots to understand. Read more: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Can't recommend the COI highly enough. Great science, fantastic collaborative atmosphere, great coffee and regular free pastries.

New work from Knight Genetics and colleagues 👇

Check out what we do by watching this short video while we just look the other way 🙈

It might have taken nearly a week but with the help of one very determined (read: obsessed) Nick Kanellakis, the COI 1000-piece Christmas puzzle is complete 🎉

If you haven't had a chance, we highly recommend checking out this podcast from COI members Matt Bottomley & Adam Bates. At 24 minutes it's perfect for that mid-incubation cup of tea ☕️

A new paper has been released today in Cell by Prof. Doug Higgs & Dr Mira Kassouf where they identify a new type of non-coding DNA that helps to explain how our DNA is read. Read the full story here: camsoxford.ox.ac.uk/news/super-enh…
