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
The Million’s Veterans Program was established in 2011 as a national research initiative to determine how genetic variation influences the health of the diverse population of US military veterans. The goal of the program is to generate genetic data on over one million veterans, through genotyping and sequencing, connected to phenotype data extracted from electronic health records spanning a median of 10 years of follow-up. With over 500,000 individuals with genetic data available currently, this cohort enables a range of causal inference experiments and genetic analysis at scale in diverse ancestries. I will describe our ongoing work, focused on the genetic analysis for type 2 diabetes as well as studies for association with T2D complications. In addition, large-scale genetic analyses of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, enabled by an electronic health record definition of disease, including causal inference and genetic correlation studies for this trait.
