Endometriosis has long been wrongly perceived to be rare among women of African descent. The misconception about the prevalence of endometriosis among African women has significantly contributed to long diagnostic delays, and care, and a scarcity of research on the condition

En el mundo, 500 millones de personas menstruantes no tienen acceso a productos de higiene, instalaciones sanitarias, ni a educación para gestionar su periodo. Lea acá el especial Pobreza Menstrual. Silenciosa vulneración de la dignidad ► eltiempo.com/datos/pobreza-…

When I got into endometriosis research I was constantly reminded how taboo and underfunded this field was/is. This article is a timely and refreshing view about the momentum made in the last 10 years. There is so much more work to be done. This is just the start.

If you understand the science of human reproduction and IVF then you can understand why equating a fertilized egg to a child is nonsensical and dangerous. npr.org/sections/healt….

This years #SRI2024 was an absolute blast and despite a few panic inducing technical challenges (#LizziecanIborrowyourcharger…) it was so fun to show what the #GneccoLab has been up to, learning about fascinating repro science and catching up with colleagues. See ya next year.

In the middle of the move to the new FMI science building I am so happy to share this work with Viventis Microscopy (Part of Leica Microsystems) Franziska Moos Simon Suppinger Gustavo de Medeiros. Imaging organoids (and hydra 😀 ) has never been so easy and beautiful!!

This was an exciting week for the #GneccoLab. We hosted the first visiting student Hannah McDowell from Northwestern at the Monica M Laronda lab. We learned SO much about ovaries, the female repro track, and took some pretty pics while doing so. Stay tuned as we explore the unexplored

Attention to all researchers, engineers, doctors and those interested in #endometriosis : We are forming a consortium dedicated to improving the understanding and research of endometriosis in #LATAM & #Spain. If you are interested in participating in this alliance send us a DM!

The MFI (Maternal-Fetal interface) is some of the most complex and facinating biology out there, come find out how biomaterials can help understand it better. Looking forward to seeing all the talks 12th World Biomaterials Congress (WBC 2024)!

Great catchup with Quinton Smith at #ElevateHER, not only to find you have common scientific interest but also similar shared life experiences.

Welcome to our 20 Rising Stars on the first day of the workshop!

Very honored to be included in the Atlas of Inspiring Latinx Scientists #LatinxAtlas along with some amazing and inspiring friends and colleagues. Let’s deploy this to expand women’s health science and engineering in LATAM.

Sex Differences in Medicine: jci.org/review_series/… Biological sex influences disease risk, progression, & treatment. This review collection, edited by Dr. Barbara Stranger, highlights the potential to leverage sex-dependent mechanisms to optimize therapies across medicine

Proud PI moment: Not only did Lizzie Marr (@[email protected]) give the #GneccoLab first trainee-led oral talk at the SFBiomaterials northeast symposium, but her work using our tissue engineered tools to study the mechanism of LIF signaling in the uterus won her a SfB Student STAR Award. Congrats!
