The Sitdown: Teresa Woodruff is a driving force for sex equity in medical science

Women's Health Research Institute Director, Dr. Teresa Woodruff was featured in a recent Chicago Sun-Times piece. Discussing everything from her research, her advocacy efforts, and even her hobbies, Dr. Woodruff breaks down the importance of sex-based research. From basic science to clinical trials, both sexes need to be examined to determine differences (if any) in treatment or prescription drug dosage. Identifying these differences can potentially prevent adverse drug events for men and women, and leads to better, personalized medicine.
