Register here for the 2026 WHI Investigator meeting!About this Event
This year we are thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Dr. Carolyn Mazure.
Dr. Mazure is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Women’s Health Research at Yale School of Medicine and the founder of Women’s Health Research at Yale, the university’s interdisciplinary center focused on the interplay of sex, gender, and health, which she led from its creation in 1988 through June 2025.
In 2023, Dr. Mazure was appointed Chair of the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, aimed at transforming how women’s health research is approached and funded nationwide. Her work examines the intersection of biological and social influences on women’s health, gender-specific resilience strategies, and health policies that promote women’s economic stability, and she has held numerous national policy and advisory roles, including with the NIH Office for Research on Women’s Health and the U.S. Congress.
