OUR MISSION To challenge the status quo. To close the gaps in women’s health. To change the way the world treats women.


THIS IS LIFE CHANGING RESEARCH FINDING HOPE FOR WOMEN’S CANCERS We’re leading the way in the battle against breast and gynecological cancers. SOLVING INFERTILITY STRUGGLES We’re helping women with premature ovarian aging and young cancer patients who face infertility after chemotherapy, as well as individuals and families in the LGBTQ community, realize their dream of having a family. HELPING IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 We’ve co-developed a nasal spray that could prevent COVID-19. It will be key to protecting frontline medical personnel and immunocompromised individuals.

OUR GLOBAL COLLABORATION

To shape the future of womankind – and humankind – we partner with major institutions, medical centers, and universities all over the world.

ADVANCING MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH We’ve created the largest pregnancy database of its kind, the Steve N. Caritis Magee Obstetric Maternal & Infant Database and Biobank (MOMI), because better health data means better outcomes. IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AS WOMEN AGE We’re treating pelvic floor disorders with timely diagnosis, surgery, physical therapy, and regenerative therapies. PREVENTING HIV/AIDS We’re testing a vaginal ring to protect both men and women from HIV.
