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 riskÌýof disease andÌýresponse to treatments., They have increased understanding of the relationship between sex and brain function., SGBA+Ìýhas also helped to detect gender and race bias in artificial intelligence, and develop strategies to removeÌýthis bias.Ìý
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.Ìý
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+Ìýcan enhance your research, as well asÌýan in-depth discussion of the Four Core Genotypes Model.ÌýSpeakers include Krystle van Hoof (Managing Director and CEO, HBHL and past Assistant Director, CIHR Institute of Gender & Health) and Sherri Lee Jones (Postdoctoral Fellow,ÌýResearch Institute of the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University Health CenterÌýandÌýDepartment of Psychiatry, ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University).
The talks will be followed by guided group discussions to help you think about how SGBA+ can be implemented in your own research.
