Shedding light to the sex and gender gap in science, healthcare & wellbeing

[sexinscience @sexinscience]

Hello! I’m @cm_madla & a PhD Researcher at @ucl @School_Pharmacy. My PhD focuses on understanding why males and females respond differently to medicines (if this is news to you, they do indeed!! and it’s more than just to do with hormones.. 👀). #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

[sexinscience @sexinscience]

I’ve been quiet on @sexinscience socials (help!) but trust that I have been active in championing sex as a biological variable across #academic, #industrial and #commercial institutions. Can’t wait to share what I’ve been up to and hopefully future collaborations! #WomenInSTEM

[sexinscience @sexinscience]

Hi everyone! To new followers, this is @cm_madla and I founded @sexinscience - a platform to shed light to the #sex and #gender gap in #pharmaceutical research with the aim of finding strategies to improve formulation design for better #medicines.

Fantastic speaking to discuss sex differences impacting drug treatments. Join this free session this evening!

[BOPA Committee @BOPACommittee]

Thank you @cm_madla (@sexinscience) for your amazing session this evening. If you missed it don't worry - the session will be uploaded onto the BOPA website tomorrow! @cm_madla will also be presenting at #BOPA2022 in October in Liverpool!

Evening well spent sharing @sexinscience to clinicians and championing sex as a biological variable. Thanks again for the invitation @BOPACommittee @PinkieChambers Tiffany Chan & Joe Williams!

[UCL Research @UCLResearch]

We're delighted that @UCL has come 2nd in the UK for research power in @REF_2021 - with 93% of our research graded as ‘world leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’. Read more https://t.co/g4X9n1HP2f ⬅️ #UCLResearch #REFResults #REF2021

Had the absolute pleasure of speaking at #WorldPBP on the sex-dependent mechanism of actions of excipients on drug bioavailability. Thank you for the opportunity! #WomenInSTEM #sexdifferences @BasitResearch @School_Pharmacy @UCLResearch @sexinscience @PBP_organisers

Can't wait to hear @sexinscience @cm_madla talk on The Academinist podcast tomorrow, just the short teaser clip sounds brilliant 👏

[The Academinist @theacademinist]

⏰THIS FRIDAY!⏰We're chatting to @cm_madla, PhD researcher & founder of @sexinscience ! We discuss
data gaps fuelling inequality (prepare to be outraged😡) when it comes to both sex & gender PLUS the small ways we can make a difference in our own research! 🧪#WomenInSTEM

[Christine Madla, PhD @cm_madla]

So honoured to have a seat at @TheAcademinist’s table highlighting @sexinscience and the data gap in scientific development.

Listen in on conversations that need to be brought to the fore for #HealthEquity. Accessible wherever you get your podcasts this FRIDAY! 📣

AI in #healthcare is the use of #machinelearning to mimic humans in scientific analyses, presentation and understanding of complex medicine health data. Despite advances, most of biomedicine AI technologies do not detect biases. See full post at: https://t.co/zW32oT5yoc

[Christine Madla, PhD @cm_madla]

Enjoyed sharing my first online @sexinscience x @UCLChangeMakers presentation to the MSc at the @School_Pharmacy today! Great turnout and questions asked to equip the next gen of scientists towards sex-informed research approaches. Thank you @mineorluUCL for the opportunity!

@SarahTrenfield1 @NIHRresearch @DHSCgovuk @cm_madla This is great, thank you so much Dr @SarahTrenfield1!!

[sexinscience @sexinscience]

#MachineLearning and #ArtificialIntelligence can be transformative to #healthcare systems. Despite significant advances, most of the currently used biomedicine AI technologies do not account for the detection of biases.

It’s clear that a gender gap exists in research investment — while there have been 1954 clinical trials studying erectile dysfunction, only 393 studies have focused on female sexual pain.

WOMB TANG CLAN | Let’s talk about 🔻Endometriosis🔻

#endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth #phd #WomenInSTEM

[sexinscience @sexinscience]

Endometriosis is a chronic and often debilitating condition that causes painful or heavy periods and potentially infertility, fatigue, bowel and bladder problems

#endometriosis

[sexinscience @sexinscience]

1/10 people with the female reproductive system in the UK suffer from endometriosis. 10% of people suffer from endometriosis worldwide. It costs the UK economy £8.2 billion a year because of treatment, loss of work and healthcare costs. The main cause of endometriosis is unknown.
