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
Healthcare systems face a cost crisis as they try to provide an increasingly wide range of transformative but expensive treatments to older, sicker populations. Better prevention that complements new treatments is essential. I will present metabolomics and genetics data from half a million blood samples from three national biobanks, and show that metabolomic risk scores predict future risk of disease better than genetics for most diseases that cause highest morbidity in Europe. I will show targeted analyses of predicting inflammatory bowel disease risk to complement these cross-disease analyses. Finally, I will describe a pathway to real-world implementation of ‘omic-enabled prevention.
