Title: A multi-omics approach for type 2 diabetes target discovery: identification and characterisation of disease-specific small open reading frame encoded peptides
Company: Novo Nordisk
Presenter: Dr. Bill Haynes, Site Head and Vice President, Novo Nordisk Research Centre Oxford.
Bio: Bill is a physician-scientist with more than 25 years of experience in academic-industry translational research across diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases. Following a successful career as a physician, and 10 years as Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Endocrinology (University of Iowa, US), Bill went on to lead multidisciplinary discovery research groups at Novartis and AstraZeneca. Bill joined Novo Nordisk Research Centre Oxford (NNRCO) in December 2018 to help drive the identification and validation of novel targets for Type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases. NNRCO employs advanced bioinformatics, state-of-the-art discovery screening technologies and human centric systems, taking advantage of academic-industrial collaborations, human genetics and big data to conduct world-class discovery and translational research.
Event format
These events are usually in person @ Oxford Universities BioEscalator, however this seminar of the IISS series will be held virtually.
Information about attendance and video conference details will be provided via email to those registered via Eventbrite the day before and thus registration is required by 11am 1st June 2020.
Many thanks for your patience and flexibility in the way in which this seminar will proceed. The seminars are a great way for local collaborative networking, but I hope that the silver lining may be that by hosting virtually we will be able to engage a wider audience.
If you would prefer not to use eventbrite from a GDPR perspective then please email Siobhan.Dennis@Medsci.ox.ac.uk to register.

Organiser of Virtual webinar - A multi-omics approach for type 2 diabetes target discovery: identification and characterisation of disease-specific small open reading frame encoded peptides
Hosted by the Business Partnerships Office and sponsored by the BioEscalator the Industry Insights Seminar Series will kick off on Wednesday 4th December 2019 and then continue in the new year on the first Tuesday of every month. Select industry speakers will provide seminars scientific in nature across a range of medical or health topics, which will be followed by lunch and a networking opportunity.
Speakers will be encouraged to bring along colleagues to enhance the networking opportunity and one to one meetings can be facilitated upon request. This is an opportunity to, not only attend a scientific seminar of interest but also to network with industry scientists. Seminars will be suitable for all academics with some knowledge or interest in each topic area, from PhD students to PIs. Although mostly aimed at an academic audience, those located in the BioEscalator and Wood Centre with an interest as well as local spinouts are welcome.
