A breath of diversity: impact of biological sex on cellular and molecular mechanisms in respiratory disease
Translational
Translational science session
Aims : to enhance understanding of the influence of biological sex on metabolic processes and immune responses in driving sex dimorphism in respiratory disease, the role of sex steroids (hormones) and chromosomes in respiratory disease, and sex-related differences in proteins, signalling pathways, epigenetics and cellular crosstalk in respiratory disease.
Target audience :
Adult pulmonologist/Clinician, Clinical researcher, Medical Student, Paediatrician, Pathologist
Methods :
Cell and molecular biology
