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
There is growing evidence that new and repurposed medicines could play a role in radically improving heath in old age. In 2018, the UK government set out a mission to deliver 5 extra years of health life by 2035, whilst reducing the gap in healthspan between the richest and the poorest in society. So far, the government’s efforts in this area have focused on assisted living technologies, rather than developing medicines that target the underlying biology that drives poor health in old age. This panel brings together representatives from academia, large pharma, and the SME sector to discuss how UK drug discovery researchers from across these sectors can work together to deliver innovative new medicines.
