## Abstract

2021 Physiology in Focus: The Role of Sex Hormones, Genetics and Gender in
 Physiology & Medicine
Project Summary/Abstract
The purpose of this proposal is to seek support for the virtual APS Conference entitled
“Physiology in Focus: The Role of Sex Hormones, Genetics and Gender in Physiology &
Medicine” scheduled for September 28 – October 1, 2021 and was last held in 2018. The
objective of this conference is to gather a critical mass of expert clinical and basic researchers
with interests in the role of sex hormones, sex chromosomes, and gender in a variety of
physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The conference will bring together nationally
and internationally renowned scientists to exchange ideas, develop scientific relationships,
and promote collaboration in a virtual platform. The meeting will have a strong emphasis on
trainee involvement with activities at multiple levels, including designated trainee sessions
and posters.
The program will be organized into five distinct modules in biomedical sex differences
research: neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology and metabolic science, aging,
gastrointestinal and renal physiology, and immunology. Ample time for poster sessions,
workshops and planned activities will allow for in-depth discussions among trainees, young
scientists and established investigators.
