OSSD President’s Message

Current events have left many of us feeling unsettled, uncertain, and perhaps even overwhelmed. As we face complex challenges both in our research and in the world around us, be reassured that we are a community, and our collective vision is grounded in the belief that together we can make meaningful progress through our work towards optimizing health for everyone. Our mission to advance the understanding of sex and gender differences in health is not only about science; it is about coming together as a scientific community, sharing ideas, and making lasting change in how we approach health research and care for everyone.  Read More>>
