Abstract: Sex differences are present the human population and impact a variety of homeostatic and disease processes. I will discuss the extent of sex differences in glioblastoma, the most common primary malignant brain tumor, and how this can be leverages for next-generation immunotherapies. In particular, I will focus on how sex differences in immune response reveal new targets for future therapeutic development efforts.
