SUMMARY:HDRUK Oxford Policy Masterclass - Overview of the machinery of policymaking\, examples from digital technology and social care\, key considerations of when engaging with policymakers
DESCRIPTION:Overview: With science\, health and politics increasingly in the popular press and media the interface between scientific evidence and its use in informing health policy is never more under the public scrutiny. Health data research can play an important role in informing health policy -current and future. Yet the two sectors of academia and policy can act somewhat disparately\, resulting in research and policy making being siloed. \nAim: In the inaugural masterclass series\, we aim to deliver a varied session that combines demystifying the wheels of policymaking\, exploring successful examples of health research informing policy and lively debate on how and when scientific evidence could inform future policy development through a topical example. \nWelcome from Professor Sir Aziz Sheikh \nTommy Wise\, Policy Lead for Care Technology\, Department of Health and Social Care \nPanel discussion: Research and Policy Interface: The Evidence Quandary \nProfessor Cathie Sudlow and Professor Dame Jenny Harries \nHands on policy masterclass (only for DPhils and ESRs) \nInstructors: Jose Rojas Alvarado (OPEN Policy Network) and Tommy Wise \nRichard Doll Building Lecture Theatre \nIn person only \nRegister \nLunch and refreshments \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Regulation of RyR2 in the heart and brain
DESCRIPTION:Open to University of Oxford staff. \nType-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) mediated calcium release controls the contraction of cardiac myocytes and the excitability of neurons. Consequently\, inappropriate activation of RyR2 leads to disease\, such as arrhythmias and Alzheimer’s disease. Prof Jones will describe his published and unpublished research examining the pathophysiological regulation of RyR2 in the heart and brain. This spans from single protein super-resolution microscopy\, through real time calcium imaging\, to in vivo analysis in animal models\, and characterisation in human tissue. He will also present data on how targeting RyR2 might offer new treatments for arrhythmias and Alzheimer’s disease.\nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Peer Coaching for Career Development (PeCo)
DESCRIPTION:Applications close Monday 7 April 2025 at 9am \nPeCo is a peer coaching programme  designed to support early career researchers who have completed a PhD to develop coaching skills and insights for their own career development. The programme is led by a professional coach with many years’ experience working with academic researchers. \nMany researchers face similar sorts of challenges in their roles – for example\, repeated fixed-term contracts\, access to senior support\, and time management. PeCo brings together a group of peers at a similar stage\, enabling you to uncover insights relating to navigating issues which you often share with others. Previous participants have found that the programme has helped them build their skills in ways that have helped in management and supervisory elements of their roles.    \nPeCo is deliberately kept at a smaller size to aid discussions and connection\, and to enable greater support from the programme facilitators.  \nParticipants will learn and practice coaching skills in a group setting – helpful for progressing career goals and building your network in mental health research. \nPeCo 2025 consists of 8 sessions from May 2025 to January 2026: \n\nThursday 22 May 2025\, 9.30am-11am online\nThursday 19 June 2025\, 10am-3pm in person coaching skills workshop (Birmingham)\nThursday 10 July 2025\, 9.30am-11am online\nThursday 4 September 2025\, 9.30am-11am online\nThursday 16 October 2025\, 9.30am-11am online\nTuesday 4 November 2025\, 10am-3pm in person MHR Incubator Gathering with alumni from GROW and PeCo (Manchester)\nThursday 11 December 2025\, 9.30am-11am online\nThursday 8 January 2026\, 9.30am-11am online\n\n6 sessions will be hosted online\, and 2 sessions will be face-to-face. Travel costs for in-person sessions will be reimbursed.\nAll participants must commit to attending each of the programme sessions. Please do not apply if you cannot commit to attending every session.
