SUMMARY:Webinar: Beyond the bump - How managing blood pressure around pregnancy shapes your future health
DESCRIPTION:The NIHR BRC: Oxford is holding a free online public talk on Tuesday 21 July at 2pm \nMany women experience high blood pressure during pregnancy\, and it is increasingly recognised as an early warning sign for health problems later in life. Conditions such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are known to increase a woman’s longer-term risk of stroke\, heart disease and dementia. Yet most women receive little follow-up once their baby is born. \nRecent studies by University of Oxford researchers have shown that\, by monitoring and carefully managing their blood pressure after giving birth\, new mothers could cut their risk of future heart disease and strokes – and protect their long‑term brain health. \nThe studies\, supported by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Oxford\, have led to the creation of a postpartum cardiac risk clinic in the Oxford Heart Centre. \nThis talk will explore how pregnancy is a window into future health\, giving an opportunity to improve long-term care and help prevent future cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline in women. The speakers will also show how understanding why some women develop long-term complications while others recover fully could lead to more personalised treatment. \nSign up here: Webinar: Beyond the bump – How managing blood pressure around pregnancy shapes your future health. \nSpeakers \nDr Jamie Kitt is a Consultant Cardiologist in London and Oxford. He is conducting post-doctoral research into hypertensive pregnancy at the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Department of Medicine. \nDr Winok Lapidaire is a Principal Investigator in Cardiovascular Medicine at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine. Her research focuses on the effect of high blood pressure on the brain\, especially during and after pregnancy. \n \n

SUMMARY:Does the shingles vaccine prevent dementia? Evidence from 6.3 million people in England
DESCRIPTION:Following an influential study in Wales\, they examined whether eligibility for the live herpes zoster vaccine reduces dementia risk in England using a regression discontinuity design based on the 2013 UK rollout. An analysis of over 6.3 million individuals using Hospital Episode Statistics data confirmed that vaccine eligibility significantly reduced hospital-coded herpes zoster\, validating the study design. However\, there was no evidence of a corresponding reduction in hospital-coded dementia\, with results remaining null across multiple sensitivity analyses. Additional checks found no substantial bias or confounding that could explain the discrepancy with earlier studies suggesting protective effects\, and possible reasons for the discrepancy will be discussed. Overall\, the findings suggest that while the vaccine effectively reduces zoster incidence\, any impact on dementia risk in England is likely small or absent.   \nPlease note: This is intended for University of Oxford staff and students only \nMore information and booking.

SUMMARY:Register now: Free Public Talk on Neurodiversity and Research
DESCRIPTION:April marks Autism Acceptance Month\, an important opportunity to move beyond awareness and focus on meaningful inclusion.   \nAs understanding of neurodiversity grows\, so too does recognition of the need for research that better reflects and supports neurodivergent communities. Yet despite increasing attention\, neurodivergent people remain under-represented in many areas of mental health research.  \nJoin us for a special podcast-style panel conversation featuring 3 expert brain and mental health researchers who will explore two complementary perspectives.   \nThe discussion will consider how neurodivergent participants can be more effectively included within broader mental and brain health research\, as well as the importance of designing research projects specifically tailored for neurodivergent communities from the outset.  \nTogether\, we will reflect on the opportunities\, challenges and responsibilities involved in building more inclusive research practices. How can we design studies that are accessible\, respectful and responsive? What does genuine inclusion look like in practice?  \nSpeakers:  \n\nProfessor Clare Mackay is a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Oxford whose research uses neuroimaging to understand risk for psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions\, alongside leading translational work through the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity and the NIHR Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (BRC: Oxford Health). More recently\, she has developed a significant academic and advocacy focus on body‑focused repetitive behaviours\, including trichotillomania\, working to improve understanding\, reduce stigma and develop better interventions for this under‑served community. \n\n\nDr Eri Ichijo is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging . Her research aims to improve our understanding of pain experience in the autistic population. She is particularly interested in exploring the relationship between the cognitive modulation of pain and individual differences. \n\n\nDr Alice Quinton is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Oxford’s Department of Experimental Psychology. Her research focuses on interventions for anxiety-related mental imagery (or “flashforwards”) with a particular interest in the experiences of neurodivergent young adults. \n\nQuestions will be put to the speakers by event host Andreia Costa\, Project Manager for Training & Career Development at BRC: Oxford Health and Chair of the Neurodiversity & Disability Working Group at University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry. Andreia is an advocate for the neurodivergent community and hosts the Neurodiverse Voices Connect Podcast.   \n  \nThere are 100 spaces available in the Lecture Theatre\, which will be allocated on a first come basis. \nPlease use this public talk registration form to sign up for a place. \n  \nCoffee is available in the common room from 5:30pm and the event will start promptly at 6:00pm. \nAny questions email: Sophie.Ray@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk

SUMMARY:Hidden in plain sight – retinal imaging data for AI-driven early detection of systemic diseases and augmentation of drug discovery
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Wen Hwa Lee – CEO \nCompany: Foresight Research Ltd. \nDescription:  Recent advances in ophthalmology have shown that retinal images can detect much more than ocular disorders. Retinal imaging can identify early signs of systemic diseases like Alzheimer’s\, Parkinson’s\, diabetes\, and cardiovascular (heart) conditions\, often years before traditional symptoms appear. This emerging field\, known as Oculomics\, shows the eye’s potential as a window into overall health. \nCharity-owned Foresight Research Ltd. aims to collect community-level\, pre-disease data from hundreds-of-thousands participants\, through a UK-wide network of optical practices. Through collaborations with national health research initiatives\, they plan to build comprehensive datasets from early-stage and healthy participants – and make these accessible for industry and academic researchers working on healthcare innovation (biomedical\, AI\, health economics\, etc.). These datasets will be fundamental for enabling prevention and early interception of various ocular and systemic diseases. \n  \nTo register for the seminar: please click on the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/PhiXJre8i1

SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk – Can electrodes in the brain treat chronic pain?
DESCRIPTION:Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a recognised way of tackling tremors in people with Parkinson’s disease. Now this technique – delivering an electrical pulse into the brain – is being explored as a potential treatment for other neurological conditions. \nA new study is looking at whether DBS can help to treat chronic pain in people who have suffered a stroke. Central post-stroke pain is a disabling – and currently untreatable – condition which affects areas of the brain and central nervous system that process pain signals. \nIn this public talk\, Alex Green\, Professor of Neurosurgery\, and Ben Seymour\, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience\, will discuss the EPIONE study\, which is investigating whether DBS could be used to treat CPSP\, and discuss whether DBS might be a way of tackling other brain-related conditions.\nThe EPIONE study (Effective Pain Interventions with Neural Engineering) is supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford and Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centres (BRC)\, who are jointly organising this talk. \nFREE entry\, no booking required. \nRefreshments from 5.40pm\, for a 6pm start. \n

SUMMARY:Masterclass: Clinical Trials and Health Systems Data
DESCRIPTION:Clinical trials are essential for evaluating new treatments\, and there is growing interest in harnessing health systems data (HSD) to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. HSD can offer researchers and trialists valuable opportunities to streamline key processes such as identifying eligible participants\, monitoring trial progress in real time\, enabling remote follow-up and capturing outcomes. Yet\, its use also presents challenges\, as researchers must navigate complex regulatory and legal frameworks that can hinder broader adoption. \nAim: In this masterclass series\, we aim to explore how HSD can advance clinical research\, with a particular focus on decentralized and large simple trials. By examining the challenges and sharing lessons learned\, the talks will highlight practical strategies\, methodological considerations and opportunities to strengthen the integration of HSD into trial design and execution. \nA further hands-on session relevant to all clinical trial roles particularly DPhils and ECRs will explore some useful resources and skills for researchers to develop and optimise their trial design. \nMore information and agenda here.  \nLink to booking form. \nPlease note registrations close on Monday 26 January 2026 at midday

SUMMARY:Greening & Nature-based Interventions for indoor and outdoor environments
DESCRIPTION:Prof Kumar will be discussing his work with the RECLAIM Network Plus\,  the GREENIN Network Plus  and GP4Streets\, as well as his wider Global Centre for Clean Air Research work. \nRECLAIM Network Plus is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for towns and cities to find the information and support you need to install green and blue infrastructure in your communities and to put you in touch with others with similar interests and experiences. \nPeople have been using plants such as ferns and succulents to brighten up their homes for millennia\, but how much of an impact do they have on our environment and wellbeing? A new project led by the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) will explore the role of plants and green infrastructure in improving indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and promoting health in the face of climate change. \nAt GP4Streets\, we recognise that streets are the heart of our neighbourhoods\, yet they are often the most deprived areas in terms of green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI). Our vision is to transform these urban spaces into resilient\, sustainable environments through innovative\, do-it-yourself (DIY) GBGI solutions. \nMore information and registration.
