Despite the many advances in human health, research focused on women’s health has a more complex history. The Morgridge Institute for Research invites you to a panel discussion on women’s health, focusing on discovery, prevention, and access to care. Experts will share groundbreaking research on the link between certain viral infections and gynecological cancers, present innovative approaches to identifying and preventing preterm birth, and explore how access and social factors influence health outcomes.
