When BIOME Core Host Speaker/Institution/Topic Venue Contact/Registration
05-12.2024 Essen College of Gender Research

Sex and Gender in the Life Sciences

The aim of the lecture series, initiated by UDE’s strategic research area Biomedical Sciences and the Essen College of Gender Research, is to show perspectives on how research in the life sciences can utilize the analytical potential of the gender dimension and open up new directions. The English-language lecture series is being organised in cooperation with seven large DFG networks at the UDE in the field of life sciences. With reference to the expertise of the respective networks, the speakers will address core topics of the networks and illustrate the relevance of the gender perspective using their own research results.
