Sex as a biological variable in biomedical research: needs, challenges, and future steps

09.06.2022 08:30 – 10.06.2022 16:30

The symposium is dedicated to provide insight into the meaning of sex as a biological variable
(SABV) and its importance to rodent biomedical research, and to address challenges for implementation.

It will bring together national and international experts from the fields of neuroscience,
reproductive and behavioral endocrinology, whose work is dedicated to better understanding how
sex impacts biological processes from the molecular to the behavioral level.

In addition, experts in the fields of 3Rs, animal welfare and biostatistics will present challenges and
approaches to the inclusion of SABV in animal facility management and study design. This symposium
will thus provide a platform for exchange and discussion of the current state of research
and future steps.
