Sex and Gender in Mental Health: Why Sex Matters

Max Delbrück Center, Berlin Brains

Join us for an exciting journey into the biology of the psyche.

More and more people are suffering from stress and depression. To effectively help them, studies using animal models are indispensable. But how can mental health be studied in animals? And what influence does sex have on the course of the illness and its treatment? Hanna Hoernberg and Tobias Pohl provide insights into the biology of the psyche. Their research illustrates how significantly sex can impact mental health and well-being, and what new therapeutic options might result from it.

Speakers: 

Dr. Hanna Hörnberg - Research Group Leader of the "Molecular and Cellular Basis of Behavior" lab at the Max Delbrück Center 

Dr. Tobias Pohl - Max Delbrück Center 

Host: 

Dr. Jochen Müller
