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 are few stories in science more inspiring than that of Dr Sonia Vallabh and Dr Eric Minikel. After seeing her mother rapidly decline and pass away from prion disease Sonia found out that she also carried the genetic variant that caused the disease. With an unknown timeline until Sonia will likely also succumb to the disease, Eric and Sonia both left their previous careers and retrained as scientists in pursuit of a cure. The Centre for Personalised Medicine is delighted to host Eric and Sonia to tell us more about their story, how they engage with a rare disease community, and their incredible progress towards developing a preventative treatment.
