EMBO | EMBL Symposium Sex differences in health and disease

„This symposium will highlight topics including sex hormone regulation of health and immunity, genetic differences leading to disease, and mosaicism. We will convene leading scientists from various global regions to delve into topics like the molecular underpinnings of sexual dimorphisms, how sex hormones regulate sexually distinct phenotypes, and the role of sex differences in the context of metabolism, infections, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases.

We aim to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue by bringing together researchers employing both traditional animal models and innovative approaches (organoids, biomaterials, 3D cultures, advanced bioinformatics analysis).“
