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:OH BRC Lunch & Learn Managing a research career and a family (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid session\, taking place in person at the Department of Psychiatry\, Common Room and on Teams. \nBalancing a research career with family life can be rewarding but also very challenging. This “Lunch & Learn” is designed for anyone who is juggling—or considering juggling—research and family responsibilities. \nWe will explore key principles\, practical tips\, and lived realities around this topic\, including funding eligibility and opportunities for carers\, basic parental leave and related rights\, and the support you can get at work and at home. The session will also address how to use clear boundaries and communication in your professional and private life\, alongside ‘hacks’ to for time and energy management particularly relevant to researchers who are parents. \nLunch will be provided to those attending in-person. \nMicrosoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams

SUMMARY:Socio-economic disadvantage inclusion training
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Barts BRC \nWe’re delighted to invite you to an informative session (online) on practical tools for socio-economic disadvantage inclusion in health research. This event is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your approach to including people and communities from diverse ethnicities in your research. \nSpeakers: \nDr Heidi Green is a Health Equity and Patient Involvement Specialist and a Creative Qualitative Researcher who co-developed the NIHR INCLUDE Socio-economic disadvantage framework\, which has been designed to aid researchers\, who are designing clinical trials\, to consider barriers to including patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds in their trial. The framework can also help researchers to develop strategies to attempt to address such barriers in order to improve the design and conduct of clinical research. \nWith over a decade of experience leading the design and delivery of innovative and award-winning projects\, Heidi is an experienced health equity specialist\, creative qualitative researcher\, and lived experience advocate. Her mission is to embed accessibility and inclusivity into all of the projects she’s involved in\, driving change for those that stand to benefit most. \n\nA Barts Biomedical Research Centre researcher (TBC) will present on how they have included socially disadvantaged communities in their research.\nThere will be lots of opportunities for you to ask questions from experienced and knowledgeable speakers to support your research.\n\nThese sessions are for:  \nResearch staff affiliated with the following Biomedical Research Centres: Barts\, Birmingham\, Cambridge\, Moorfields\, Oxford and Oxford Health. \nMicrosoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams

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.
