NIH Launches $21 Million Initiative to Advance Understanding of Sex-Specific Hormonal Biology

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is investing $21 million to launch a new research program focused on developing computational models to better understand hormone homeostasis and how sex influences treatment response. This initiative aims to create sex-specific models for testing drugs and therapeutics, addressing variations in how men and women react to drug therapy, including dosing, treatment outcomes, and toxicity.
