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
We will welcome Andy Pearce from GSK to introduce us to GSK’s Discovery Partnerships with Academia (DPAc), an innovative approach to drug discovery through integrated partnerships. As a unit within GSK’s research and development organization, Andy’s team are dedicated to creating highly collaborative relationships with leading academic researchers focussed on the discovery of a novel medicine. They believe working closely together throughout the course of a drug discovery project and combining different strengths is a great way to develop new medicines that truly benefit patients.
The concept is simple but powerful: bring together the insight and creativity of the academic world with the drug discovery expertise, capabilities and resources needed to make a medicine.
Further information and project examples are available on the website: www.dpac.gsk.com
The DPAc programme is agnostic in the therapeutic areas that it will pursue projects in and works with both biopharmaceutical and small molecule modalities, and so speculative enquiries are welcomed in any area.
The seminar will run from 12:00-13:00 and then Andy will be available to ask questions over lunch which will be provided.
