Bridging Disciplines: Advancing Sex and Gender-related Research in Biomedicine

This symposium will delve into how sex and gender influence disease manifestation, progression, and treatment response. Key discussions will include sex-specific molecular mechanisms, such as the roles of the X-chromosome and hormones, and their impact on immune, cardiovascular, respiratory conditions, and cancer. We will also explore how sex and gender aspects can be broadly and structurally implemented in biomedical research and teaching.

If you are working on a related project, take this opportunity to present and discuss your research with all of us and submit an abstract for a talk by the 20th of October. 
You can submit your Abstract following the registration page.
