Mind the Research Gap Conference

Cambridge Femtech Society

Join us, WHAM and internationally renowned speakers for a deep dive into the existing gaps in female health research and health care!

Gender bias has been an ongoing issue in scientific research and healthcare, examples being underrepresentation of female individuals in early-stage research and clinical studies, failure to consider gender- and sex-disaggregated data, trivialisation of female physical complaints, and discrimination in the awarding of research grants. This complex array of issues is often defined as the health gap or research gap. In order to raise awareness on the research gap and plant the seed for future innovation and ideas into university students all around the UK, we have come up with the <a href="https://www.cambridgefemtech.com/mrg" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mind the Research Gap</a> project. With a diverse range of areas of expertise and perspectives, this project will explore the challenges around the research gap. It will look at the topic of funding, at the data and research aspects, and at the importance of communication in raising awareness and in closing the gap!The last event of this project is the Mind the Research Gap Conference, an afternoon-long online event where we will take a deep dive into the existing gaps in female health research and health care. Internationally renowned speakers will be sharing their findings and insights with us, and the conference will be organised into four thematic sessions:<ul><li>Changing the paradigm of female health research </li><li>Disparities in funding and clinical research </li><li>Female health gaps, with a focus on oncology</li><li>Communication and public perspective, with a focus on endometriosis and pelvic pain</li></ul>We are extremely honoured to be partnering with <a href="https://thewhamreport.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WHAM</a> for this event, as well as to be collaborating with other 9 student societies all over the UK!
