Research Center Takes Lead in Bringing Women Under the Microscope
Manage episode 460364781 series 2773261
The fact that men and women are not the same is no longer completely
overlooked in the medical world. Diseases, such as heart attacks, can
present differently. Yet, an absence of research that includes women prior
to the early 1990s has left studies into women’s health largely in “catch-up”
mode. Our guest is Judy Regensteiner, PhD, director and co-founder of the
Ludeman Family Center for Women’s Health Research at the University of
Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The center has become a national
leader in conducting research across the span of women’s lives, especially
in the areas of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and mental health.
