Integrating sex and gender in aging and neurodegeneration research: Examples from micro- to macro-data
Date & Time
Thursday, October 22, 2020, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Roger Dixon Gillian Einstein Liisa Galea
Description

Continuing last year's successful Scientific Day workshop on including sex and gender in your research, this year we offer a perspective of sex and gender research in an APOE4 animal model dealing with molecular aspects of aging and in big data sets dealing with multiple biological and life factors as risks for AD.

The session will include the following presentations:

  • Introducing Sex and Gender: The challenges and benefits of bringing them together (Einstein)
  • Studying sex and sex-linked factors in an APOE4 animal model of AD (Galea)
  • Factoring sex into aging and neurodegeneration research: Examples with large data bases (Dixon)

We invite you to bring your questions about how to incorporate sex and gender into your own research, research you would like to do, and reading other people's research. Come prepared for brainstorming!
