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
Kumar is a Computational Scientist. His general research interests are in human genetic epidemiology, particularly in modeling and understanding complex genetic diseases. Currently, he is working on understanding familial polygenic risk of migraines in Finns.
He obtained his Bachelor’s degree (First Class Honours) in Biotechnology at UCSI University, Malaysia (advised by Renee Lim Lay Hong, Ph.D.) and completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences in 2016 at the University of Miami (advised by Olaf Bodamer, MD, PhD). During his undergraduate and subsequent faculty position at UCSIUniversity, his research interests included heterologous expression of recombinant proteins and candidate gene studies of myopia and obesity in Malaysian adolescents. For his Ph.D., his work focused on the genetics of preterm birth which included whole exome sequencing analysis of a Miami-Latino population, and an integrated analysis (RNA-seq and methylation) of a longitudinally ascertained birth cohort.
