On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Lp(a) is a low-density lipoprotein which has been shown to increase the risk of atherosclerotic disease. Our understanding of its influence has evolved with the advent of large-scale cohort studies with genetic data. Analyses of the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke conferred by Lp(a) in the China Kadoorie Biobank and cohorts of European ancestry will be presented.
