How does biological sex affect health?

Our biological sex affects every cell in our body, so how does it influence our health - from embryo development through to the risk of disease and diagnosis? How and why do some conditions affect females and males differently? And what can we do to ensure medicine is safe and effective for everyone, after decades of male biology bias?
Across autoimmune disorders, cancer, dementia, heart disease and even responses to everyday medications, sex‑based biological differences can shape who becomes ill, how symptoms appear and what treatments work.
Join our expert panel as they explore sex differences in biology, hormones and gene regulation.
Panel:
Prof Edith Heard, CEO of the Francis Crick Institute
Natasha Karp, Biostatistician at Astra Zeneca
Prof Petter Brodin, Garfield Weston chair of Neonatology and Professor of Paediatric Immunology, Imperial College, London
