OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Understanding variation in reproductive hormones: from neuroendocrine structures, to ovaries, to hormonal medication.
Abstract: Dr Hannah Currant is a new PI in the department. Her work utilises large scale biomedical data – from imaging, to prescription data, to genotyping – to investigate how reproductive health varies in the population. In this talk she will speak about her previous work understanding the genetic variation underlying the shape of neuroendocrine structures that help control reproductive hormone production. She will also share her future plans for her lab which focuses on identifying biomarkers of hormonal medication compatibility and understanding the impact of reproductive hormone variation on broader biology.
Bio: I obtained a BSc in Molecular Biology from the University of St Andrews before completing my PhD at the University of Cambridge. There I undertook my research at the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), focusing on the genetics of retinal morphology using image-derived phenotypes. I then received a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship to work at the University of Copenhagen on the genetics underlying morphology of neuroendocrine regions using MRI-derived phenotypes before moving to the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford. I am now establishing my independent research group at the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health as a Wellcome Early Career Fellow.
