Sex Cells! A workshop on sex- and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA+) in research
Considerations of sex and gender are key to conducting inclusive research, building unbiased technology and facilitating equitable healthcare. Studies that have implemented sex- and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA+) have found sex differences in risk听of disease and听response to treatments., They have increased understanding of the relationship between sex and brain function., SGBA+听has also helped to detect gender and race bias in artificial intelligence, and develop strategies to remove听this bias.听
What will you find when you implement SGBA+ in your research?
Join HBHL and Scientista for Sex Cells!, a workshop on SGBA+, to learn how you can implement SGBA+ in your own research.听
The workshop will feature talks from two SGBA+ experts, which will provide an overview of what SGBA+ is, examples of studies that have implemented SGBA+, how SGBA+听can enhance your research, as well as听an in-depth discussion of the Four Core Genotypes Model.听Speakers include Krystle van Hoof (Managing Director and CEO, HBHL and past Assistant Director, CIHR Institute of Gender & Health) and Sherri Lee Jones (Postdoctoral Fellow,听Research Institute of the 平特五不中 Health Center听and听Department of Psychiatry, 平特五不中).
The talks will be followed by guided group discussions to help you think about how SGBA+ can be implemented in your own research.
