An international non-profit organization studying sex and gender determinants to brain and mental health
Info
Women’s Brain Project (WBP) is an international non-profit organization studying sex and gender determinants to brain and mental health. Founded in 2017, the WBP is composed by a group of scientists hailing from various disciplines including medicine, neuroscience, psychology, pharmacology, and communication who work together with caregivers, patients and their relatives, policymakers, and other stakeholders. Born as an Association we are now transforming into a Foundation. WBPs goal is to transform the state of medical treatments and drug development through sex and gender factors as a gateway to precision medicine and care. Health begins with human beings, individuals. Men and women are different when it comes to brain and mental disease frequency, severity, symptomatology and even response to treatments. Through our work, we learned that the scientific world and civil society have not sufficiently acknowledged this issue and are instead still operating under the assumption that a one-size-fits-all approach benefits all. WBP advocates for a paradigm shift in global health towards sustainability by considering the specific biological, psychosocial and economic requirements of each patient, regardless of sex or gender. If this mission matters to you, join our efforts - be part of the change! Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

I’ve often said that life is a journey, one made beautiful by the unique qualities of each individual we encounter along the way. As we travel together as companions, certain encounters stand out, leaving us with a profound sense of privilege for having crossed paths. One such encounter for me in 2024 has been with Barbara Studer, PhD, whom I was introduced to by another remarkable woman, Sandra-Stella Triebl. I already knew Barbara was an exceptional scientist, entrepreneur, and a person of great strength. What I didn’t know is that she also possesses incredible talents in areas like music and singing. Discovering Barbara has been one of the highlights of this year, and I am fully committed to supporting her professional journey. Here you see Barbara at work, presenting complex scientific concepts about how the music impact our brain functions to a broad audience at the #Zurich Music Hall, where a wonderful orchestra directed by Martin Studer accompanied her this weekend. This format is truly unique, as it nourishes both our brains, bodies and our souls, and I believe it should be shared with the world. Reach out to her and Hirncoach AG to learn more. Thank you, Barbara, and your entire team for not only showcasing our campaign at Women's Brain Foundation but also for the incredible work you do. A heartfelt thanks to all the donors who stand behind our research and our cause. #brianhealth #womenshealth

🌱 The Gut-Brain Axis: A Two-Way Street to Health 🧠 Do you know that your gut and brain are in constant communication? This powerful connection, known as the gut-brain axis, plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. 🔄 How it Works: The gut and brain communicate through neural pathways, hormones, and immune signals. A healthy gut can influence mood, stress levels, and even cognitive function, while the brain can impact gut health in return. 🦠 Microbiome Magic: Our gut is home to trillions of microbes that produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, often called the "happy hormone." An imbalance in these gut bacteria can affect mental health, contributing to conditions like anxiety and depression. 🥗 Nurturing the Connection: Eating a balanced diet rich in fiber, fermented foods, and prebiotics can support a healthy gut microbiome, promoting better mental and emotional health. Regular exercise, stress management, and quality sleep are also key to maintaining this vital connection. Avoid;Processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats can disrupt the gut microbiome,leading to negative effects on mood and cognition. Let's take care of our gut to take care of our brain! 🌟 #GutBrainAxis #Neuroscience #MentalHealth #Wellness #Neurobiology #BrainHealth Women's Brain Foundation Women's Brain Health Initiative The Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) Womens Health Care Publication Virtual Brain Health Center International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) ALBA Network

Based on a very long lasting and successful scientific collaboration with Alfonso Valencia and Davide Cirillo we are glad to inform about this great opportunity at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center where a Scientific Leader is needed. In the framework of the AI4Science fellowships the BSC is recruiting a new leader for the Social Link Analytics unit, who would continue some of the current research lines on sex/gender biases and evaluation of AI tools in health, disinformation in social networks and those in the framework of Bioinfo4Women (https://lnkd.in/e4UufYpP). The scope of the unit, which analyses biomedical data to evaluate their impact in scientific advancement, is broad, and there would be freedom to adapt these and explore other related research areas. Highly recommended for the data scientists out there. There are also many more vacancies available.

🌟 "Age is a risk factor for Alzheimer's - but so is being a woman" Journalist Christina Pirskanen at 20 Minuten discusses the gender gap in medicine with our CEO, Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha, particularly focusing on Alzheimer’s disease. It highlights that being a woman is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s, alongside aging. Dr. Santuccione-Chadha explains that women are often underrepresented in medical research, leading to gaps in understanding how diseases and treatments affect them differently. Our Foundation is raising awareness about these gender differences in neurological diseases through our global Women's Quota campaign.

Yesterday was the launch of the Katharinen-Turm in the heart of Zurich ✨ We're so honoured that our Founder and CEO, Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha, was one of 500 women to be recognised for her contribution to Swiss history in this artistic installation. 🤗 The installation emphasizes the productive and creative power of women and their social, economic, religious, and political impact. The tower, outfitted with a “dress” measuring up to 1,000 metre of green ribbon, on which the names of the 500 honourable women, who have been chosen for their contributions, past and present to various fields, are printed on. See below for some impressions of Dr Chadha's presence😊 #WomenMakingWaves #InspiringWomen #WomenOfImpact #WomenWhoLead #WomenInspiration #WomenChangingTheWorld
