The UCLA SABV Video Library offers videos of lectures on the general topic of sex and gender differences in physiology and disease.  The library is supported by the UCLA NIH U54 SCORE grant directed by Dr. Karen Reue.  This educational resource is intended to make available basic, didactic information on research and clinical practice, as well as state-of-the-art lectures on the most recent research. The information is available to be freely used by students, laboratory investigators, physicians, etc. The library includes links to lectures delivered at UCLA and at national and international meetings, including links to relevant lectures recorded by agencies other than UCLA. New videos are added as they become available.

The video library is curated by Dr. Art Arnold, UCLA Department of Integrative Biology & Physiology (arnold@ucla.edu).  Feedback about this resource is welcome.
