International Day of Women and Girls in Science is observed each year on the 11th of February, recognising the incredible contributions of women to the field of science. From groundbreaking discoveries to innovative solutions, women have been pivotal in shaping the landscape of scientific progress. In particular, let's take a moment to spotlight the remarkable achievements of women in the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) industry. Their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in advancing healthcare through the development of diagnostic tools and technologies that save lives every day. From pioneering research to leading teams in developing cutting-edge diagnostics, women in the IVD industry continue to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes. Their contributions not only enhance our understanding of diseases but also revolutionise how we diagnose and treat them. Today, let's celebrate and honour the achievements of women in science, including those in the IVD industry, and continue to support and empower the next generation of women scientists. Together, we can create a more inclusive and diverse scientific community that thrives on the contributions of all. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #IVD #Diagnostics #Science #Empowerment #DiversityandInclusion #11February

🌟This Women's History Month we celebrate women's health & inclusion in pharma 🌟 For this month's Women in Pharma issue, we dive deep into the transformative journey of women's health and the pivotal role of the pharmaceutical industry in fostering innovation and diversity. We shed a light on the gaps in healthcare concerning women's health and pharmaceuticals. The path towards equitable healthcare has its hurdles — from the exclusion of women in clinical trials, to the dire need for tailored healthcare solutions that transcend reproductive health. However, with increased knowledge, new technologies, and the representation of female leaders, the pharmaceutical industry is changing to address these gaps. 🔍 With the help of Matevž Ambrožič, Marketing & PR Director at PharmaLinea and Heidi Floyd, a Patient Advocate and International Speaker we uncover: - The underrepresentation of women in clinical trials and its impact. - The innovative companies leading the charge in women-focused pharmaceuticals. - The imperative for inclusion across all levels of the pharmaceutical industry. Join us in this monthly series exploring how the pharmaceutical industry is stepping up to inspire inclusion, tackle women's health with the seriousness it deserves, and pave the way for a more equitable world. 👉 Read the full article here: https://ow.ly/z5ob50R420F #CPHIWomenInPharma #CPHI #InspiringWomen #PharmaIndustry #GenderEquity #InclusiveFuture #WomenInScience

When I think about International Women’s Day, three words come to mind: FORCE FOR GOOD. And goodness comes from within. I proudly lead an organization at GeneDx comprised of 68% women. And of our senior leadership team, 55% of them are women. I’m a constant witness to the way we work — with courage, resilience, and a deep commitment to our patients — and the way we live outside of work — with big hearts, compassion and a ferocity for doing good in the world. We are indeed doing very hard things in the world of genetics, in the world of healthcare, and in the world of today’s capital markets. And — with the amazing men who are allies to us at work and at home — we are well on our way to making sure we realize our mission of ending the diagnostic odyssey. We are relentless in our pursuit of getting children diagnosed sooner, connecting them to treatments and connecting families and caregivers to advocacy support, all while ensuring our company is financially stronger each day and on the path to profitability. It’s a lot of competing priorities, but we’re doing it, day in and day out. Why? Because we are a FORCE FOR GOOD. That’s all. #internationalwomensday2024
