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
This study investigates risk factors and disease burden associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in a large prospective cohort study of 0.5 million adults from 10 geographically diverse areas in China, called the China Kadoorie Biobank. Chronic hepatitis B remains a pressing public health issue and is coined a ‘silent epidemic’ in China, which has the largest HBV associated disease burden in the world.
