This event is intended for clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals.
Speaker
Dr. Brian Aguado
University of California San Diego
Topic
Determining Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Disease Using Biomaterials
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both males and females, yet our mechanistic knowledge of the sex-specific molecular and cellular mechanisms that guide cardiovascular disease progression, particularly in females, remain poorly characterized.
Dr. Aguado’s laboratory uses precision biomaterials as in vitro and in vivo tools to dissect sex chromosome linked mechanisms that contribute to sex differences in cardiovascular diseases, specifically aortic valve stenosis and cardiac fibrosis.
