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.
Dr Daniel Wilson summarises how data science has been used during the COVID-19 pandemic, spanning vaccine design, clinical trials, surveillance and policy advice, and highlighting the identification of risk factors for disease.
Danny will discuss his research group’s work in the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative, which has identified dozens of genes involved in the risk of catching SARS-CoV-2 and suffering severe COVID-19, and his collaborations with Public Health England and UK Biobank, one of the world’s largest cohorts for biomedical research, who contributed the raw data that powered such insights.
This free lecture is part of the Rewley House Lecture Series and is designed for researchers from all disciplines and members of the public.
