OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Population-scale metabolomic and genomic prediction of common diseases
There is no vitrual option for this seminar
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.
