Name: Weight loss with Ozempic: from scientific lab to at-home jab
Start: 2025-05-21T19:00:00
End: 2025-05-21T21:00:00
Location: Oxford Blue

Injectable weight loss drugs like Ozempic have captured headlines and stirred debate. But what do they actually do, and who are they for? Dr Annie de Bray-Brown, a diabetes doctor and DPhil student, will explain how these treatments work, what they mean for people living with obesity or diabetes, and how hormones are changing the future of metabolic medicine.

Professor Amanda Adler, a leading expert in diabetic medicine and health policy, will offer her perspective on how these drugs fit into the broader picture of healthcare and evidence-based treatment.

Metabolic health: walking the yellow brick road

Amanda Adler (Professor of Diabetic Medicine and Health Policy/Director of Diabetic Trials Unit)

At the Oxford Diabetes Trial Unit, we study the epidemiology, health economic, and disease aspect of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Working with our collaborators, we design, conduct and analyse clinical studies that meet the expectations of regulators, payers, clinicians and people with diabetes.

Come and hear all about how the new, revolutionary drugs are challenging our understanding and management of these metabolic conditions!
