HDRUK Oxford Monthly Meetup, Monday 19 May 2025, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Speakers:
1) Professor Peter Visscher; Professor of Quantitative Genetics, Oxford Population Health, University of Oxford
2) Dr Siqi Wang; Oxford Population Health, University of Oxford

Talk Description:
The availability of large biobanks with individual-level genomic, exposure and outcome data allow researchers to address questions about the causes and consequences of human complex trait variation. In two presentations, we will highlight new discoveries on the association between genomes, traits and diseases, using multiple biobanks and data on hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Short Bios:
1) Peter Visscher is a quantitative geneticist at the Nuffield Department of Population Health. His research is about a better understanding of human trait variation in populations and the development of statistical analytical tools to analyse genotype-phenotype data in large biobanks.

2) Siqi Wang is a postdoctoral researcher at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, with expertise in epidemiology and the analysis of biobank data.

Mode: Hybrid
In-person Venue – Richard Doll Lecture Theatre, Richard Doll Building, Old Road Campus, University of Oxford
