OxTalks is Changing
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
Climate change and emerging infectious diseases
Please note that this talk is in-person only.
Professor Tulio de Oliveira has more than 20 years’ experience responding to infectious disease outbreaks including HIV, hepatitis B and C, chikungunya, dengue, SARS-CoV-2, zika and yellow fever virus. His research focuses on applying genomic data to improve disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and outbreak response. He played a critical role in identifying and tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants during the COVID-19 pandemic through CERI and the KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform. Professor de Oliveira will talk about the work of CERI and CLIMADE, a global consortium focused on developing knowledge, surveillance tools and adequate interventions to decrease the impact of climate amplified diseases and epidemics.
