The meeting focuses on areas that have displayed great advances in gender-based biology. In addition to presentations, the Society publishes research statements, collected for the meeting, from the National Institutes of Health, academic research centers, medical specialty organizations, and private industry. These research statements provide an annual update on gender-based research in a wide variety of fields. All statements are incorporated into our annual yearbook . This educational video provides an introduction to the field of gender based biology and its far reaching implications for research, clinical practice, and health policy.
Gender based biology is more than understanding how the reproductive system works.
As scientist continue to delve into this groundbreaking field, their results have implications for both genders, and awareness of these gender differences is revolutionizing our understanding of health and disease for men and women. This 8 minute video also comes with an information packet to facilitate discussion and provide additional information about gender based biology. The Society was instrumental in obtaining authorization and funding for this study, and is continuing to particpate as a study sponsor. For more information, click here . Only with adequate numbers of women in clinical trials can researchers perform the gender analysis necessary to determine gender-based differences in drug reactions, progression of disease, and health outcomes.
