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
The last 10 years have seen the emergence of predictive models based on genetics which quantify an individual’s genetic predisposition for a specific trait or disease. In this talk, I will present our latest research in the construction, cataloging and translation of polygenic scores with a focus on common disease risk. I will also cover examples of integrating polygenic scores with multi-omics data to enhance clinical risk prediction models and to understand putative molecular mediators of polygenic disease.
