Connecting science across continents: Highlights of the 12th I-DSD congress

For three days Lübeck became the meeting pot for experts discussing the developments, challenges and aims in research of differences of sex development (DSD). With a variety of participants from five continents, the symposium positioned itself at the interface of research, medicine and psychosocial crosstalk. It brought a new focus to the current scientific perspective, with implications from the latest political decisions in sex testing in elite sports.

Why does Parkinson’s Disease affect men more often? DLS Recap on Sex Differences in Astrocytes and Oligodendrocytes

The first day featured a lecture by Julia M. Schulze-Hentrich, Professor of Genetics and Epigenetics at Saarland University. Alongside our CRC1665 group, colleagues from neurogenetics also joined the presentation, adding welcome expertise to the room. The paper “Sex and Gender Differences in the Molecular Etiology of Parkinson’s Disease”, which she co-authored, had been shared with the doctoral students beforehand, and to make it accessible across disciplines we also prepared a glossary of key terms.

Bridging Disciplines: The iRTG Summer School 2025 in Lübeck

From September 8–12, 2025, doctoral candidates and researchers from the Collaborative Research Centre “Sexdiversity” (CRC 1665) gathered at the Institute for Medical History and Science Ethics (IMGWF) in Lübeck for an intensive five-day Summer School. This year’s theme was dedicated to a core value of the CRC: interdisciplinarity.
