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.
There is an urgent need to identify non-demented individuals at the highest risk of progressing to Alzheimer’s dementia. In this talk, I will introduce the polygenic hazard score (PHS) derived using a survival analysis framework for predicting Alzheimer’s dementia age of onset. I will then present findings showing that PHS is associated with neuroimaging biomarkers, cognitive decline, and clinical progression. The potential utility of PHS in the clinic and for clinical trials will also be discussed.
