March 24th, 2025, an exciting lecture titled “Gender-Sensitive Medicine – Excellent Medicine of Tomorrow” with University Professor Dr. med. Ute Seeland, Endowed Chair for Gender-Sensitive Medicine at the University of Magdeburg, will take place as part of the “Science in City Hall” series.
Gender-sensitive medicine deals with gender-specific differences in medicine and their impact on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Research results show that men and women react differently to diseases – from symptoms to the effectiveness of therapies. Despite these differences, women are still underrepresented in many medical studies, leading to gaps in evidence-based treatment. Professor Seeland is committed to researching these gender-specific differences and promoting preventive strategies. At the University Medical Center Magdeburg, she will establish a university outpatient clinic for Gender-Sensitive Medicine and Prevention to integrate innovative treatment approaches into practice and further improve care.
