Webinar Overview
For preclinical research into new treatments for human disease, one sex of mouse is often used disproportionately more than the other. While this sometimes happens for legitimate scientific reasons, it’s often not the case. Omitting sex as a biological variable can skew your research and lead to faulty conclusions. There can also be ethical concerns and 3Rs-related issues to deal with, as well.

- Reasons why male or female mice are sometimes preferred
- The scientific impact sex bias has for multiple biological disciplines
- The significant effect of sex bias on animal welfare
- 3Rs guidelines and recommendations to eliminate sex bias in preclinical studies
