OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Can asthma inhalers prevent COVID-19 hospitalisations? The STOIC Study
Mona Bafadhel is Associate Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Oxford and a Consultant Respiratory Physician. Her research focuses on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a set of conditions that cause the airways to become inflamed and make it harder for patients to breathe. In this talk, Mona will discuss her work on COPD and her recent research on the use of inhaled corticosteroids (usually used for asthma and COPD) to reduce the chances of severe respiratory illness in COVID-19 patients.
