In the US, ~1.4 million birth control pill users are aged 15-19. Despite their wide usage, little to none is known about their neuronal impact on the developing brain.
This neuroimaging study seeks to investigate this link for the first time!

Endometriosis is a painful condition affecting 1 in 10 women worldwide.
This study will explore a promising relationship between endometriosis and specific miRNAs, with emphasis on the molecular pathways involved.

Even pre-birth women start losing their eggs. The AMH is the only known hormone to inhibit follicle activation.
This team wants to develop drugs that mimic AMH by targeting its receptor (AMHR2) for clinical uses from contraception to aging!
We're so excited to be working towards a new non-hormonal contraceptive to minimise side effects. Thank you to Sara and the repro grants team for the support!

Copper IUD is the only non-hormonal, long-acting contraceptive available today. But they can cause cramping and be painful at insertion.
This team is developing a new category of contraceptives using advanced biomedical materials!

Healthy pregnancy relies on the functioning of the placenta.
By generating patient-specific trophoblast stem cells, this research aims to develop better disease models for studying conditions such as preeclampsia which currently have no treatments.
Couldn't believe I was hearing those magic words 'fast funding for female reproductive science'! We are SO grateful to @fiftyyears and @sarakemppainen! This funding will certainly help us get this exciting project going. @UQMedicine@UQ_News@ReproductionSRB

Is NFIX the new female-specific master regulator?
Previous studies have shown NFIX's role in neural development & spermatogenesis, but no research has been done in the female context. Studying NFIX can aid our grasp of diseases like PCOS/POI!
Very excited about this new project @ColumbiaPS on the interplay between vaginal microbiome, #endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. Thank you @reprogrants!

Can the vaginal microbiome decode endometriosis?
This trailblazing group will investigate if changes in the vaginal microbiome can be linked to specific endometriosis subtypes, stages, and symptoms.

There is growing evidence that environmental exposures to chemicals contribute to preterm birth.
The @UCSF team will use a novel approach to profile maternal blood for thousands of environmental chemicals in high-risk communities.
