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
Using human genetics at scale to power drug discovery
In person only
The Regeneron Genetics Center (RGC) uses human genetics at scale to power it’s drug discovery efforts, support existing targets and find new uses for existing drugs. We collaborate widely with health systems, universities and biobanks to create cohorts with exome sequencing, genotyping and deep phenotyping. To date the RGC has sequenced nearly 3 million samples. The talk will describe some of the genetic discoveries we have made, some of the computational tools and approaches we have developed, how we use imaging data and proteomics to support this work, and some perspectives on academia and industry as a scientist.
