Meet the team behind the EU-SABV COST Action — a multidisciplinary network of researchers, clinicians and data experts from across Europe. Together, we advance SABV integration, strengthen scientific rigor, develop training and guidance, and support long-term capacity building. #SABVinAction

Strong SABV practices require shared resources, coordinated expertise, and harmonized approaches across Europe. The EU-SABV COST Action is building a multidisciplinary network to address training gaps, strengthen capacity, and develop evidence-based guidance for SABV. #EUSABV #SABVinAction

Including Sex as a Biological Variable = better data. Scientific rigor begins with study designs that reflect biological reality. Sex influences physiology, disease mechanisms, and responses to interventions. #EUSABV #SABVinAction #ScientificRigor
