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.
I will discuss the use of genomics and data science in drug discovery at GSK, and particularly in the selection and validation of drug targets. I’ll highlight the interplay between experimental science and informatics, and will discuss recently published work highlighting the value of genetic information in selecting drug targets/indications. Motivated by this, I will also include a sketch of work ongoing and planned in this area at GSK, particularly with respect to the potential to integrate electronic health record and genomics information. I will also describe work at Open Targets (www.targetvalidation.org), including both experimental and informatics aspects. I will focus on the key concepts and avoid technical detail, both regarding genomics and data science.
