Webinar: Sex and Gender in Biomedical Research (7 Feb 2023)

This webinar might be of interest to the Horizon Europe Community Österreich interested in being more intentional about the impact of sex and gender in their project research (and beyond)!

In this exciting, timely workshop, Prof. Oertelt-Prigione will break down the many layers of sex and gender and their impact on biomedical research: from disaggregating drug trial results between men and women to the influence of researchers’ sex/gender on experimental outcomes. She will guide researchers through the important questions to ask when setting up biomedical research: What do you have to consider, how to start, what should be measured during the experiments and what should be reported in the resulting publication? With several concrete examples from a variety of fields, this webinar should serve as an illuminating while practical source of information for all researchers working with humans and animals.

Sabine Oertelt-Prigione is a physician specialized in internal medicine, sex- and gender-sensitive medicine and public health with a professional focus on the development of user-centered innovative prevention methods for socially relevant issues (from gender inequality in health to refugee health to prevention of interpersonal violence and sexual harassment). She was a member of the European Commission Expert Group on “Gendered Innovations” and currently chairs the Expert Group on “Gender and COVID-19”.
