Understanding women’s biology is key to improving lifelong health and supporting the health of future generations. Our scientists are working across disciplines to drive crucial advancements in women’s health. Find out more about our research: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/putt...

Why is a woman 50% more likely than a man to get the wrong initial diagnosis for a heart attack? For centuries, women were excluded from health research – fluctuating #hormones believed to complicate results. @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social researchers are working to drive change 👉 bit.ly/44rtQ6J

I'm proud that @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social is leading the way in advancing our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of women's biology, which is essential to improving lifelong health and supporting intergenerational health outcomes
