Reframing Women’s Health and Aging with Jennifer Garrison
Please join us for an eye-opening conversation with Jennifer Garrison, PhD, a passionate and vocal advocate for healthy aging in women. Dr. Garrison is pioneering a global movement to advance and translate research science focused on how ovaries impact women’s health across their lives. Ovaries are the architects of health and the pacemaker for aging in female bodies. Women’s health has long been sidelined, garnering barely 10% of research dollars and 4% of biopharma investment while impacting over half the global population. A tiny fraction of that – less than 0.1% — has been applied to study ovarian aging, arguably the most important but simultaneously the most neglected topic affecting women’s health and wellbeing.
