Special Episode - Heart to Heart: Studying sex differences in heart diseases

Emily Wu from the University of Ottawa interviews Dr. Emilio Alarcón on the significance of sex differences in cardiovascular research. Dr. Alarcón is a professor at the University of Ottawa and a scientist at the Heart Institute whose research focuses on developing biomaterials for the regeneration of damaged tissues. In this episode, Dr. Alarcón comments on segments from a previous BEaTS interview between University of Ottawa student Deyanira Hernandez and Dr. Brian Aguado. Dr. Aguado is a professor at the University of California, San Diego, whose research focuses on using biomaterials to determine sex-specific mechanisms of heart diseases, namely aortic valve stenosis (AVS). This episode discusses the effects and significance of including sex differences in disease and biomaterial research.Learn more: Dr. Emilio Alarcón - https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-medicine/dr-emilio-alarcon                             Dr. Brian Aguado - https://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/people/profile/brian-aguado 0:03 | Topic introduction.1:06 | BEaTS and host introduction.1:28 | Introduction to Dr. Alarcón.2:14 | Introduction to Dr. Aguado.2:58 | The importance of studying biological sex in disease research (Dr. Aguado).5:13 | The relevance of studying biological sex in biomaterial research (Dr. Alarcón).7:40 | Precision medicine and sex-based research (Dr. Aguado).9:07 | Addressing the potential unavailability of precision medicine (Dr. Alarcón).11:08 | Considering other biological variables in future research (Dr. Alarcón).14:22 | Concluding remarks.Soundtrack by The Underground Drive.
