Advancing Women’s Health

You’re invited to join us for a special webinar highlighting both translational science and the critical need to access financing to advance women’s health innovations. The webinar will open with a scientific presentation by Zhen Zhao, PhD, Professor of Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, who will share her idea for an AI-driven clinical decision support tool to predict the risk of pre-eclampsia – a condition that remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Following this presentation, we will host a conversation with the authors of Unlocking Investment for Women’s Health, Misti Ushio, PhD (Managing Partner, Digitalis Ventures) and Ipsita Smolinski (Founder & Managing Director, Capitol Street). Together, they will discuss the current funding landscape, highlighting how investors, government, industry, and advocacy groups can collaborate to accelerate the translation of women’s health discoveries into solutions for patients. This program will offer fresh perspectives on bridging the gap between innovation and investment, providing a template for how science can attract capital and partnerships to drive meaningful progress in healthcare.
