Networks Tools to Understand Sex- and Gender-Specific Drivers of Disease
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Sex and gender influences are an understudied feature of human health and disease. The genomic correlates of sex and gender and the connections of these genes in biological networks, may provide insights into pathways that influence progressive structural and functional changes across human systems; tools to perform this research have lagged. Investigating networks of sex differences in normal tissues, complex disease and cancers, and mining pathways for potential therapeutic interventions, may inform new diagnostics and strategies for sex and gender informed Precision Medicine.
