The Women’s Health Research Institute recognizes the importance of connecting with professionals who have common interests. For example, a neuroscientist working in Evanston may not know a clinician who is treating women with epilepsy in Chicago. Our membership roster consists of faculty, health professionals, social science professionals and scientists who are working to advance women’s health across all disciplines. The following individuals have listed their professional interests in their profiles and we encourage our readers to reach out to these experts, as mentors, as collaborators, as team members.
