Sex Differences in Health and Disease
David Page is interested in the differences and similarities between males and females, in both healthy and disease states. Page and his team are investigating the contributions of the X and Y chromosomes to sex differences at the genomic, epigenetic, molecular, and cellular levels. They are exploring molecular-level variations in organs and systems where diseases with sex-based differences manifest, such as the immune system, heart, and brain. They also study individuals with a wide range of sex chromosome complements to understand the influence of the X and Y chromosomes on gene regulation across the entire genome.
