Find an Expert

Our Expert Database is designed to connect you with multidisciplinary women’s health researchers, professors, post-doctoral fellows, and more.

On top of that, if you’re seeking trainees to support your work you can find them here too.

You may find experts by name, career type, and/or by entering keywords in the “area of research expertise” to narrow your search. For instance, if your research focus is brain health and understanding progressive disease, you can find experts with knowledge in these areas by entering keywords like “Alzheimer’s” or “Dementia”.
