We are thrilled to be able to put together these informative and transformational events where we bring together the best minds to tackle gender-specific issues in modern science.
Our mission is twofold: first, to fund innovative new research. The second is to conduct the symposia which are the intellectual lifeblood of the Foundation.
In constructing these Symposia:
- We identify the most important issues in contemporary medicine.
- We then assemble an international community of world class scholars who spend a dedicated period of several days together. Their purpose is to emphasize the importance of the chosen topic, and to explore the scope of our current understanding of how it impacts human health. We define some of the most important questions still to be answered and suggest important new directions for future investigations.
- We collect and edit the proceedings of the most important symposia, generating books which summarize state of the art insights into these crucially important topics for the use of both the scientific and lay communities. Two recent publications are Sex, Gender and Epigenetics.: From Molecule to Bedside and Building a Spacefaring Civilization: Advancing the Frontier of Science, Medicine and Human Performance in Civilian Spaceflight. Our next seminar, planned for Fall of 2025 in Rome, Italy, will consider the role of artificial intelligence in contemporary patient care.
