SUMMARY:HealTAC 2026 Workshop
DESCRIPTION:HealTAC 2026 Workshop: From patient narratives to insights: applying text analytics to scalable lived experience data for new discoveries \nHow do we transform patient narrative data into actionable insights at scale? This interactive two-hour workshop will address how text analytics can be applied to lived experience data at scale. By bringing text analytics scientists together with behavioural scientists\, qualitative researchers\, people with relevant lived experiences (PERLEs)\, and other key stakeholders\, we will go beyond analysing clinician-reported data to explore how transdisciplinary collaboration can unlock meaning from large amounts of patient-reported text data. \nThe session will follow the definition of research as a process of investigation leading to new insights that are effectively shared; participants will explore the opportunities\, challenges and next steps required for the application of text analytics to patient voices at scale. \nFull information and registration.

SUMMARY:Navigating biomedical and healthcare science careers (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion hosted by the University of Cambridge\, featuring academic and industry experts discussing career pathways\, challenges\, and opportunities in biomedical and healthcare science. \nIn this session we will invite academic and industry experts to discuss their career paths and answer questions from participants about navigating key challenges in a biomedical or healthcare science career. \nLearning outcomes:\n-How to find opportunities in a competitive landscape where funding is scarce\n-How to ensure your input is adequately credited in a competitive ecosystem\n-How to manage rejection with applications for grants and professional roles\n-How to cope with the precarity of fixed term contracts\n-Managing clinical and academic commitments (for clinically qualified researchers)\n-For those with teaching commitments\, how to protect time for research\n-Career flexibility with family commitments/caring responsibilities\n-Preventing “burnout” with heavy workloads/submission deadlines etc\n-What more experienced/advanced researchers can do to better support early career researchers\n-Which skills are most relevant for industry opportunities\n-How you can translate skills in academic research/healthcare to roles in industry\n-What is the process for founding a company? How do you set one up? How do you find funding opportunities? How do you build a team?\n-What more can academics do to forge more productive collaboration with industry? \nTarget audience:\n– Undergraduate\, Master’s and PhD students in biomedical and healthcare disciplines\n– Early career researchers (research assistants/postdocs)\n– Healthcare professionals in undergraduate or postgraduate training\n– Supervisors of students and postgraduate researchers/clinical trainees \nHowever\, this list is not exhaustive or exclusive – whether you are a first year undergraduate or emeritus professor\, ALL are welcome!\nRegister online.  \n

SUMMARY:New hope for bipolar disorder: the evidence you need now
DESCRIPTION:Join us on World Bipolar Day for an evidence-based webinar on bipolar disorder\, hosted by the Mental Elf. \n\n\n\n\nBipolar disorder affects approximately 1-2% of the population and is characterised by recurrent episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. It’s associated with significant functional impairment\, high rates of co-morbidity\, and reduced life expectancy. \nDespite effective treatments being available\, many people experience delayed diagnosis\, inadequate treatment\, and frequent relapses. Access to specialist care is inconsistent across the UK. Long-term outcomes remain poor for many\, with residual symptoms and social disability common even between episodes. \nSystem-level barriers\, including late diagnosis in primary care\, limited access to psychological therapies\, and poor integration between physical and mental health services\, prevent people from receiving optimal care. \nThis webinar is delivered in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Mental Health Translational Research Collaboration (MH-TRC) Mission Mood Disorder Network. \nMore information and registration on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:New Therapeutic Approaches in Translational Mental Health - Academia Meets Industry - Grand Challenges and New Horizons
DESCRIPTION:The New Therapeutic Approaches in Translational Mental Health conference will bring together industry\, academic and clinical researchers\, the regulator and government research funding organisations to discuss the current challenges facing therapeutic development.  The conference aims to explore\, initiate and strengthen collaborations between industry and academia and will include local researchers from Oxford as well as researchers from the UK’s national clinical research infrastructure. \nHosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (OH BRC) and sponsored by the UK Mental Health Mission\, the day will bring together researchers\, clinicians\, industry partners\, charities and research funders for a day of networking\, discussion and ideas exchange. The conference will showcase the breadth of expertise in the OH BRC and discuss the unmet need for innovative new technologies and therapies in mental ill health\, key challenges and the potential solutions that can arise from partnerships between industry and researchers in Oxford and nationally. \nKey areas of focus include; Experimental Medicine for drug development\, Non-drug-based interventions and technology\, Omics & Data and Clinical trials. Key challenges from the perspective of industry and academia will be explored by building the academic/industry conversation on how new approaches to academia/industry partnerships may be used to ‘de-risk’ therapeutic development. \nThe content of the conference programme is driven by a committee of scientists and clinicians from the OH BRC with input from industry experts. The conference will be delivered in-person on 16th September 2024 in Oxford and will consist of a series of lightning talks\, industry led workshop sessions and a roundtable discussion. A preliminary conference programme is provided below. \nAs well as the academic science\, this conference will also offer a unique opportunity to discuss the development of translational clinical infrastructure exploring challenges in clinical development\, clinical trial set-up & patient recruitment and new related technologies that will help solve the R&D challenges in psychiatry and brain health. \nRegistrations will be through the university’s Online Shop.  Please contact Betina Nair for further information. \n
