💉 Researchers at the University of Oxford have received funding from Cancer Research UK (CRUK) to develop OvarianVax, potentially the world's first vaccine to prevent ovarian cancer. The team has been awarded up to £600,000 over the next three years to support laboratory research into the vaccine. 💰 💬 "We need better strategies to prevent ovarian cancer. Currently women with BRCA1/2 mutations, who are at very high risk, are offered surgery which prevents cancer but robs them of the chance to have children afterwards. At the same time, many other cases of ovarian cancer aren't picked up until they are in a much later stage." Professor Ahmed Ahmed, Director of the Ovarian Cancer Cell Laboratory at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine #femtech #womenshealth #womenshealthinnovation #health #healthcare #ovariancancer #cancer #prevention #preventativecare #research #grant #award #earlydetection

This is a big step toward our goal of positively impacting over 140 million women each year—making their pregnancies safer and giving them more peace of mind during those crucial first nine months."

💡 The gender health research gap remains a pressing issue in healthcare, as highlighted in a recent Femtech Insider webinar featuring Priyanka Jain of Evvy, investor and board member Jessica J. Federer, and Geet Khosla of proem. 💬 “If essentially, we’ve only studied middle-aged, mid-sized white men, and we’ve decided that the things we constantly measure or track are based on what was predictive in that population, what about the unique signals that the female body is constantly trying to give off and tell us where things are going well and where we need help?” Priyanka Jain 💬 “If regulators across the globe say, we need representative data and we need it from every stage of development, I promise you, pharma and biotech will figure out how to make it happen.” Jessica J.

🔬 Beli, a company known for its fertility and prenatal supplements, has launched at-home fertility testing kits for both men and women. This new offering aims to provide users with data-driven insights into their reproductive health, complementing Beli’s existing line of supplements. 💕 💬 "As a company deeply invested in the fertility journey, we noticed a major missing link in the process—the time before someone is even thinking about pregnancy to when they need to seek fertility care. This period is often overlooked, yet it’s so important for laying the foundation for a healthy pregnancy." Joni Hanson Davis, CEO & Founder of Beli #femtech #fertility #reproductivehealth #health #healthcare #diagnostics #innovation #athometesting #healthcareinnovation #launch #dtc #ttc
