This course addresses genetic research as well as SABV across stages of life. You’ll learn from experts about the following:
the translational relationship between bench and bedside,
how cellular/molecular studies provide mechanistic understanding for clinical and animal science,
when and why sex as a biological variable should be considered in genetics research
how sex as a biological variable should be addressed across the lifespan,
how to study stress in animal models and translational research,
how sex differences influence the brain.
This course is the second of three courses in the Specialization: Sex as a Biological Variable in the Conduct of Research.

Overview
Syllabus
- How Sex Influences Outcomes in Basic and Human Science
- In this module, instructors demonstrate interdependence of clinical, human and basic science in research.
- Considerations for Sex in Cellular, Molecular, and Genetic Studies
- In this module, instructors illustrate when sex is an important consideration in cellular/molecular studies and how and when to control the environment and culture for these studies. Also, instructors demonstrate how to write this consideration into grants and other written material.
- The Impact of SABV on Health Outcomes Across the Lifespan
- In this module, instructors provide guidance on studying sex differences and SABV at difference phases of life.
- Consideration of SABV in Stress and Mental Illness
- In this module, instructors demonstrate applications of SABV on disease states.
